Deep Tissue Massage in Glasgow City Centre
Some knots don't go away with a gentle rub. Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm pressure to reach the muscles under the surface, where most long-term tightness sits.
It's our second most booked treatment. You'll find us at 82 Union Street, a few minutes from Glasgow Central Station, open 7 days from 11:00 to 21:00.
What it helps with
Tight shoulders and upper back from desk work or driving
Lower back stiffness
Sore legs after running, gym sessions or long days on your feet
A stiff neck that makes it hard to turn your head
Muscles that feel "stuck" even after stretching
What happens in your session
Tell us where it hurts. Your therapist asks about problem areas, old injuries and how firm you want it.
Warm-up. Lighter strokes loosen the muscles first so the deeper work doesn't shock them.
Deep work. Your therapist works slowly into the tight spots, using thumbs, forearms and elbows.
You stay in control. Say the word and we go lighter or firmer. Strong is fine. Painful is not.
You may feel a little sore the next day, like after a workout. Drink water and keep moving gently.
Who it suits
People with ongoing tension in one area, like the neck or lower back
Active people who train often
Anyone who has tried a relaxing massage and felt it was too light
Prefer stretching to oil? Our Traditional Thai Massage works deep too, through pressure and assisted stretches.
Questions people ask
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
It should feel strong, not painful. Your therapist checks in, and you can ask for lighter pressure at any time.
How often should I book?
For ongoing tightness, many clients come every 2 to 4 weeks. Once you feel better, once a month keeps it under control.
What's the difference between deep tissue and Thai massage?
Deep tissue uses oil and slow, firm strokes on the muscles. Thai massage is done clothed and uses pressure points and stretches. Both work deep.
Can I book deep tissue as a couple?
Yes. Book a Couples Massage and each of you picks your own treatment.
