Deep Tissue Massage

Targeted, effective massage to relieve pain, release tension, and help you move, train, and live with less restriction.

What is deep tissue massage?

Whether you’re carrying deep-seated tension, dealing with a recurring niggle, or feeling the effects of training or daily life, my deep tissue massage sessions are designed to support your body where it needs it most.

Using a combination of hands-on techniques and my knowledge of movement, I’ll help reduce pain, improve mobility, and give you lasting relief you can feel.

Who is it for?

  • For active bodies

    Support your training or active lifestyle. Recover after injury or surgery. Ease soreness from sport or regular movement.

  • For everyday tension

    Release postural tension and tight muscles. Relieve desk-related aches in your back, neck or hips.

  • Targeted manual therapy

    Strong targeted treatment. Feel looser, more mobile and more balanced in your body.

  • Other conditions

    If you’re unsure whether your condition or concern is something I work with, just ask – the chances are there’s something we can do together. 

  • I'm so glad I followed up on a friend's recommendation to go to Esmé for a massage. I had an hour's deep tissue massage which was so helpful and enjoyable - I'll definitely be going back again. I didn't really know what I wanted, and Esmé listened well and suggested a variety of options. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.
