At Panda Wellness & Aesthetics, our deep tissue massage sessions are provided by licensed Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) and are designed for people who want focused, therapeutic work for persistent tension, pain patterns, and recovery. Each session starts with a brief assessment and is customized to your body.
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that uses slower strokes and targeted pressure to address deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is commonly chosen for chronic tightness, restricted mobility, and stubborn areas that do not respond well to lighter massage. Deep tissue work does not need to be painful to be effective, and your therapist will always adjust pressure based on your feedback.
Panda only uses experienced Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) to provide deep tissue massage to ensure the best results, completed with the highest standard and professionalism.
Deep tissue massage may be a great fit if you experience:
• Chronic neck and shoulder tightness
• Low back discomfort and persistent tension
• Repetitive strain from work or posture
• Training fatigue, sports soreness, or recovery needs
• Limited mobility or “stuck” areas that need focused work
If you are unsure whether deep tissue is right for you, please call us at 587-353-6698 and we can recommend an approach based on your goals and assessment findings.
Your therapist will begin with a brief intake and assessment, then focus on the areas that matter most to you. Techniques may include slow sustained pressure, trigger point work, and specific muscle release methods. You are always in control of the session. If the pressure ever feels too intense or sharp, let us know and we will adjust.
It can be normal to feel mild soreness or stiffness for a day or two after a deep tissue session, especially if the work is focused and the area has been tense for a long time. If discomfort feels unusual or does not improve, we recommend speaking with your therapist and seeking medical advice when needed.
Simple aftercare tips:
• Hydrate and keep moving gently
• Avoid heavy training immediately after a very intense session
• Use heat or a warm shower if it feels helpful
• Follow any home care suggestions from your therapist

Deep tissue can feel intense, but it should not feel sharp or unsafe. Many clients describe it as strong pressure or “good discomfort.” Your therapist will always adjust pressure to your comfort level.
Mild soreness or stiffness for a day or two can be normal. If pain feels unusual or does not subside, contact your therapist and consider medical advice.
Therapeutic massage can include a range of techniques. Deep tissue focuses more on slower, targeted work into deeper layers for chronic tension patterns and restricted mobility.
Frequency depends on your condition and goals. Some clients book weekly or biweekly during a focused phase, then shift to maintenance as symptoms improve.
