What it is
Deep Tissue uses a deeper sense of pressure and a slower pace. The goal is a comfortable change in tension, not a fight with the body.
Who it suits
For people who prefer a noticeable massage, train often, sit for long periods or feel localised overload.
How it works
We begin with a short conversation, build depth gradually and adjust it to your feedback. You can ask for more or less pressure at any time.
Safety
Deep work is not used over a recent injury, acute inflammation, fever or severe unexplained pain.
Choosing a duration
55 minutes works well for one main area or a focused goal. 85 minutes leaves more time for the back, legs and connected areas, making it a useful first visit. Choose 115 minutes for several areas without rushing. Pricing depends only on time: €70, €110 or €150.
Before and after your session
No special preparation is needed. If possible, avoid a heavy meal immediately beforehand and arrive a few minutes early. Afterwards, follow how you feel, hydrate as usual and avoid scheduling an all-out workout that day if your body would benefit from a calmer pace.
Therapist and feedback
Alexander focuses on sport, Deep Tissue and recovery; Vakha combines a medical foundation with Deep Tissue and relaxing work. Choose a therapist or simply a convenient time. During the session, ask to change pressure, pace, position or focus area at any point — communication is part of professional care.
How to judge the result
We assess the result against your goal: whether movement feels easier, familiar overload is reduced, or you were able to relax. Responses vary, so we do not promise a specific medical outcome or sell a compulsory course. Any future visit frequency is discussed around how you feel and your real training or work load.
Your first visit in Poblenou
The studio is inside Espai Roure at Carrer de Pere IV, 91, close to Llacuna metro. Arrive a few minutes early. If you are unsure which technique to choose, book by time: we will agree the approach, focus areas and pressure before the session.
You do not have to choose perfectly.
Choose a time; we will discuss your goal and preferred intensity before we begin.
