Welcome!

Welcome to Grateful Moments Massage Therapy! Massage therapists and clients are all unique individuals and massage is subjective. For example, one client may feel a level of pressure is too firm and the next client may feel that same pressure is too light. Some clients may want a relaxing massage while others want a more therapeutic session. To get the most out of your services, finding a massage therapist that best suits your needs is essential. 

Massages at Grateful Moments 

The massages provided here are customized and typically combine Swedish, therapeutic, and deep tissue techniques while using light to medium pressure. Massage does NOT have to hurt to be effective. Deep tissue techniques are applied when appropriate WITHOUT the use of forearms or elbows. If you prefer a more aggressive/painful massage service we might not be the massage practice that would best serve you. 

Deep Pressure vs. Deep Tissue 

There is some confusion around the difference between "deep pressure" and "deep tissue". These terms are typically used interchangeably however they are very different.

Pressure refers to how much force (pressure) the massage therapist applies to the client's body when applying massage techniques. Pressure can be light, medium, or firm. 

Deep tissue is a modality that refers to massage techniques that will reach the deep muscles of the body. For example, many people have shoulder tension in the muscles between the spine and inner shoulder blades known as the rhomboids (shown below).

The rhomboids are located underneath or are "deep" to the trapezius (shown below).                         

When a therapist is massaging through the surface muscles to reach the deeper muscles such as moving through the trapezius to reach the rhomboids they are providing a "deep tissue" massage. Deep tissue techniques can be applied with varying pressure, they do not have to hurt or be aggressive to be effective.
