There are times in life when you need something that’s specialized for you whether it’s the food/menu being served at your wedding or finding ways to recharge after intense workouts, and this blog post hits on 3 of the reasons why many athletes and professional sports teams gravitate towards deep tissue massages versus other modalities.
One of the reasons why deep tissue massage techniques can help is around chronic and acute pain in muscles and soft tissues, such as back and neck pain caused by sports injuries and daily stress. Since deep tissue massages focus on solving specific problems (in comparison to relaxation-based massages like Swedish), athletes often choose deep tissue as a part of an overall preventative care strategy as well as injury prevention plan.
Secondly, deep tissue massage techniques may improve blood flow, break up scar tissue and reduce inflammation, making it essential in an athlete’s wellness regiment. Lastly, using expert techniques, massage therapists focus on the deeper muscle layers and connective tissue which may lead to recovery and increased range of motion. With more people focused on overall health and wellness, it is easy to see why the demand for deep tissue has grown.
Based on our 40 years of guiding/innovating the massage industry, including delivering experiences for athletes from around the world, we thought it would be helpful to highlight the main reasons why they come to us (Burke Williams) for deep tissue massages as well as common questions we get related to the different types of massages our team provides.

Best Deep Tissue Massage Near Me
One of the most common questions we get and also see asked in Google is around choosing “the best” massage services near you, especially when it comes to the types of massage you’re looking for (deep tissue, Swedish, etc.). Though what’s truly the best and why?
If you are looking to have detailed and focused work to ease chronic pain concerns in specific areas,consider a deep tissue massage. On the other hand, a Swedish massage centers on overall relaxation, improves circulation and blood flow and has the added benefit of being a nurturing, soothing, calming experience.
