Deep tissue massage therapy at Andrea Massage and Spa is a focused pressure massage that works the deeper layers of muscle to relieve chronic tension and stiffness. Clients from Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside choose it when a stiff back, tight shoulders or a locked up neck has stopped responding to lighter work.
Every session takes place at our studio on Douglaston Parkway in Little Neck, NY. Your therapist begins by asking about your chronic tight spots, any past injuries and how much pressure you can comfortably take, then builds the session around those answers. Google reviews describe the therapist as professional and the massage as very good.
Firm, Slow Pressure Where Tension Lives
The massage opens with broad, warming strokes so the muscles soften before deeper work begins. From there, your therapist uses the forearms, knuckles and thumbs to apply slow, firm pressure along the grain of the muscle, holding on stubborn areas until they begin to release. Attention goes where you need it most, often the lower back, the shoulder blades and the hips. Pressure is checked with you throughout, and you can ask for it to go lighter or firmer at any point.
