At Equally Balanced, we offer a variety of therapeutic treatments for desired outcomes.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage works to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles where there is discomfort, focusing on realigning muscles and connective tissue. Firm pressure is more localized, focusing on restoring balance and decreasing stiffness, and muscle pain. Connective tissue will be released through slow strokes and deep pressure. This can be a localized service or full body treatment. Deep tissue massage is recommended for those individuals with chronic pain. It can also improve circulation, reduce inflammation and promote an overall well-being.
