Intensive therapeutic massage targeting deep muscle tension and chronic pain
About Deep Tissue Body Massage (30 min)
Release chronic muscle tension and pain with our targeted 30-minute Deep Tissue Body Massage at Manhattan Barbershop NYC's Chelsea location. This intensive therapeutic massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, breaking up knots, relieving chronic pain, and improving mobility. Perfect for athletes, active professionals, or anyone dealing with persistent muscle tension from stress, poor posture, or physical activity. Our licensed massage therapists focus on problem areas—neck, shoulders, back, or legs—using techniques that penetrate beyond surface muscles to address the root cause of discomfort. While deep tissue massage involves more pressure than Swedish massage, our therapists communicate throughout to ensure intensity remains therapeutic rather than painful. This focused 30-minute session targets specific trouble spots, providing significant relief in a time-efficient format ideal for lunch breaks or quick recovery sessions.
