Deep tissue massage that actually reaches the tension

A deep tissue massage at The Houghton Spa is firm, focused and genuinely therapeutic — designed to release the chronic tightness that lighter massages only skim over 

Using slow, deliberate strokes and sustained pressure, our therapists work into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to break down the knots that build up from hours at a desk, long drives on the M1, hard training, or simply the stress of a Johannesburg work week. The result is real, lasting relief across the back, neck, shoulders and legs.

This is the massage to book when a gentle rub-down won’t cut it — when you want pressure with purpose, delivered by someone who knows exactly how far to take it.

Who deep tissue suits best

Deep tissue is the right choice if you sit at a computer all day, train regularly, carry stress in your upper body, or have a specific area of recurring pain. It’s also excellent before or after travel.

If you prefer pure, dreamy relaxation rather than firm work, our aromatherapy massage or hot stone massage may suit you better — and our therapists are always happy to advise.

During your treatment

Your therapist starts with a brief consultation to map your problem areas, then warms the muscles before progressively deepening pressure. It’s normal to feel intensity at the knots — never sharp pain — and you can adjust the pressure at any point. Drink plenty of water afterwards.
