Firmer, targeted work on specific areas of tension, communicated during the session rather than guessed at.
Deep tissue massage uses firmer, slower pressure than a general relaxation session, usually directed at specific areas rather than the whole body evenly. Pressure should be discussed at the start of the session and adjusted based on your feedback as it goes — a good therapist checks in rather than assuming yesterday's client wanted the same intensity you do.
How a single session feels versus what a course of regular sessions accomplishes over time are different questions, and an honest therapist will be straightforward about that difference rather than promising one visit will resolve something that built up over months. If you have a specific injury or diagnosed condition, mention it during intake and check with your own clinician first.
