Advanced Musculoskeletal Recovery
How deep tissue massage works at Optimove
This treatment targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to relieve persistent tightness, reduce stiffness and improve mobility. It may leave you feeling looser and moving more freely.
Slow, focused pressure
Your therapist builds pressure gradually and works slowly, so your muscles have time to respond. Treatment uses moderate to firm, sustained pressure with slow, deep strokes, friction, compression and targeted release techniques. Deep does not have to mean painful: pressure is adjusted to your tolerance and should not be excessively painful, and you can ask for lighter or firmer pressure at any point.
Chosen for the area you need
Many clients ask for particular areas, such as the neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back or hips. Your therapist will talk through where you feel tense and spend the time where it counts, rather than following a set routine.
The right massage for you
If you would prefer something gentler, our Swedish and relaxing massage may suit you better, and sports massage is tailored to training. For a specific, recurring problem, our physiotherapists also provide remedial massage. You can see every option on our massage treatments in Marylebone page.

Your experience
What to expect at your massage appointment
Arrive and settle
Your therapist asks about the areas that feel tight, how you like pressure and your general health, including any medication and previous injuries. Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the treatment area. You may be asked to remove some clothing, and towels are used for draping.
Your treatment
Pressure builds slowly. You may feel some tenderness in tight areas, but it should stay within what you can tolerate. Tell your therapist if it feels like too much.
Afterwards
Mild muscle soreness may occur for 24 to 48 hours. Gentle movement is encouraged, and you may want to reduce strenuous exercise on sore areas for a short time.
Who benefits
What relaxing massage can help with
It may help ease:
- tension in the neck, shoulders and upper back, often from desk work
- stiffness in the lower back and hips
- tight, heavy legs from standing, walking or training
- muscular tension that builds up when you are under pressure
- areas that feel knotted and do not loosen up with stretching
Back pain can have many causes. The NHS back pain guide explains when to seek medical advice, including pain that does not improve after a few weeks. If you are unsure what is behind your pain, our physiotherapists can assess it, and our pages on lower back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain explain how we help.
Deep pressure is not right for everyone. Your therapist will ask about your health and medication before starting and may adapt the treatment or advise against it in some situations.
This treatment suits people who prefer firm pressure and want to work on muscular tension and stiffness. Many of our clients sit at a desk for most of the day in Marylebone, Fitzrovia or Mayfair. Others are on their feet all day, or train regularly and carry tension they cannot shake.
