Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue is a highly therapeutic and specific type of massage that can be performed on the whole body or focus on an affected area and structure. Deep Tissue addresses all the muscle layers, from the most superficial to the deepest ones, tendons, fascia, ligaments, and other joint structures.
Deep Tissue massage can address chronic muscular pain, sports or other types of injuries (i.e. tennis elbow, whiplash, frozen shoulder, sprains/strains), repetitive stress syndromes (like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Piriformis Syndrome), headaches, stress, postural dysfunctions resulting from orthopedic conditions (like TMJD, scoliosis, leg length discrepancy), prolonged computer work, bad posture, nerve entrapment (like sciatica), limited mobility, relieve overused muscles (asthma), etc.

""I have suffered with migraines for the past 15 years and have visited countless massage therapists over this time to help ease my tight neck and shoulder muscles. From the first time Anna did her magic on me, I felt I died and went to heaven! She has the hands of an angel with the strength of an ox! Along with her extensive knowledge of the working muscles and joints of the body, she has worked miracles on me and I know countless other clients as well, including many of my friends. Since I've been seeing Anna, my headaches have lessened and for that alone, I'll always be appreciative."
