Deep Tissue Massage — Why It Works and Why It Shouldn’t Hurt
Monica Skalsky, owner of BalancedProMassage
When most people hear “deep tissue massage,” they picture gritting their teeth while a therapist digs into their muscles. But here’s the truth—deep tissue done right should never feel like punishment.
I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for over 30 years and owner of BalancedProMassage, and I know the most effective results happen when your body feels safe enough to relax. That means using firm, precise pressure—but never forcing it. My goal is to meet your muscles where they are and work deeper as your body naturally lets go.
The Real Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage offers more than just working out knots—it’s about lasting change in your body. Done properly, it can:
Release long‑held tension and stiffness
Improve range of motion in tight joints
Break down adhesions that limit movement
Increase circulation for faster recovery
Support posture and body alignment
Reduce stress and encourage deep relaxation
Why Pain Isn’t Necessary
Many people believe deep tissue means “the harder, the better.” But your body’s natural reaction to pain is to tighten up, which is the opposite of what we want.
The right deep tissue technique uses slow, intentional strokes, allowing your muscles to soften and release. That’s how you get true relief—without feeling sore for days.

The best part? You don’t have to go anywhere. I bring professional, spa‑quality massage right to your home or workplace. Step off the table, relax in your own space, and enjoy the benefits immediately—no driving, no traffic, no stress.
