What Is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage at V-Health Rehab Clinic in Calgary is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on releasing tension in the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues (fascia).
Our experienced therapists use slow, firm, and sustained pressure to target chronic tightness, break up adhesions (commonly known as muscle knots), and relieve pain caused by overuse, poor posture, or injury.
This massage helps restore flexibility, improve circulation, and promote faster recovery from muscle strain and everyday stress.
