Deep tissue / decontracting massage in Tenerife

What it is

A decontracting, or deep tissue, massage uses firmer and more focused pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle where knots and long-standing tightness sit. It is slower and more intense than a relaxing massage, and the pressure is always built up gradually.

Benefits you can expect

It is the treatment people reach for when a specific area feels persistently tight or overloaded. Working those points can leave the area feeling looser and easier to move, especially across the back, neck and shoulders.

Who it is for

• People with specific, stubborn areas of muscle tension.
• Those used to and comfortable with firmer pressure.
• Anyone whose tightness has not eased with gentler work.

Who should check first

Firm pressure is not right for everyone. If you bruise easily, take blood thinners, are pregnant, or have an injury, inflammation or a diagnosed condition, tell Selma beforehand so the pressure can be adjusted or another option chosen.

What a session is like

After assessing the areas that feel tight, Selma works gradually into them, always checking in so the pressure stays effective but comfortable. A little tenderness afterward is normal; drinking water and gentle movement help.
