Deep tissue massage, as practiced at SoulSpace Tucson, is designed to address the inner layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body. Using specialized techniques, it aims to release chronic muscle tension, improve flexibility, and provide relief from muscular pain. Unlike its counterpart, Swedish massage—which emphasizes overall relaxation—deep tissue work focuses on specific problem areas, utilizing deliberate strokes and direct pressure or friction to break up knots and adhesions within the muscle fibers.

Hot Stone Massage is a unique form of therapy that employs the use of smooth, heated stones as a part of its practice. During the treatment, the massage therapist skillfully places the hot stones on specific points on your body known as chakras or meridian lines, and they may also hold the stones while administering the massage. The localized heat and the weight of the stones penetrate deep into the muscles, providing a warming effect that helps to relax and loosen up muscles that are tight or overused. This technique allows our therapists at Soul Space Tucson to provide a deeper, more intensive massage without the added discomfort that might typically be associated with deep tissue work. As a result, clients experience a profound sensation of relaxation and healing that encompasses both the physical and emotional aspects of wellness.

At Soul Space Tucson, we define massage therapy as the art and science of manipulating the body's soft tissues using various techniques. A trained massage therapist employs both gentle and strong pressure to muscles and joints to alleviate discomfort and tension. Our primary goal is to promote relaxation and wellbeing, but we also focus on reducing pain and enhancing overall health. It's not just about physical relief; we also aim to create a calming environment that promotes mental and emotional wellbeing.
