Is there a difference in Therapeutic massage and “deep tissue” work?
Yes. Therapeutic massage goes into the muscle tissue. “Working out” constrictions (“knots”), spasms, inflammation; etc. . It uses deeper pressure than Swedish massage. Deep Tissue massage is usually a speciality practice. For example, if a NFL football player “pulls a hamstring”, one might work on that muscle group for an entire session(s). True deep tissue work is deeper and more concentrated on a specific injury and/or muscle than Therapeutic massage.
