If you have been searching for the best Deep Tissue Massage in Fort Lauderdale… you have come to the right place!

The Master Therapists are Planet Massage Fort Lauderdale are passionate about providing the best deep tissue massage since 2006.  We know how flustrating it can be to need some great deep tissue massage and just get a wimpy spa massage after trying to book something more to your liking.  We understand that not all therapists are suited to give the very best deep tissue massage.  Many try, but many also fail.   Take it  from us when we tell you, after almost 20 years in the business, most massage spa’s will often sell you a deep tissue massage, when if fact thier therapist is not passionate about deeper work.

Deep tissue body massage often uses many of the same movements and techniques as classic Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense.

It does NOT have to be so deep that it hurts beyond a slight discomfort.  You might be a little sore for a couple of days after… but it’s not a prerequisite to be be sore for days to get the best massage in Fort Lauderdale. ( In fact, one therapist who’s work I actually like a lot, who has a local massage place, once left me sore for 3 weeks, it can happen).

In reality, most of the best deep tissue massage therapist practitioners will explain to you that it is more about melting the tissues and muscles open, rather  than beating or prying them open. This can actually cause a negative response and slow your progress and healing.   Our Master deep tissue massage therapists average over 20 years expereince.   We can often finesse the tissues open, picking and choosing when it is necessary to go a deeper, and maybe even use some techniques like cross fiber friction, trigger point therapy, gua sha massage, massage cupping etc. 

Deep Tissue massage, or Neuromuscular massage It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots ( known in the biz as adhesions). Your therapist will likely include a fusion of  different strokes as well as pressure point, trigger point or shiatsu work for deep tissue massage release.

How Fast Will I Get Results With A Deep Tissue Massage from Planet Massage Fort Lauderdale?

It’s important to be realistic in regards to what results can be expected from a single deep tissue massage session, or any massage session for that matter. Many people ask for more pressure, mistakenly thinking that if the therapist just pushes hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in an hour. This just won’t happen. Massage and bodywork is more like peeling the layers of an onion away. Once you peal one, you move onto a deeper layer and allow the body to heal at a deeper level. Often your therapist will work on your immediate aches and pains in your first sessions, much to your delight, and then move on to the root causes of your discomfort with a plan to help you heal on a deeper and longer lasting level.

In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, work on your posture and ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage.

Finally, while deep tissue is certainly valuable, you should be aware that gentle styles of massage like connective tissue massage, myofascial release massage, energy work and craniosacral therapy can also produce profound release and realignment in the body. When looking for the best deep tissue massage in Fort Lauderdale, it’s best to keep all of these factors in mind.   The best massage therapists will in fact customize your massage, so it is not a one size fits all kind of thing. It’s not “all or nothing” massage.
