Deep tissue massage in Basel
Deep tissue massage is an intensive form of massage that uses constant, powerful pressure that is significantly stronger than classic wellness or relaxation massages. Its main aim is to loosen deeper layers of tissue and specifically relax hardened areas of muscle and connective tissue.

What happens during deep tissue treatment?
At the beginning of the treatment, the muscles, tissue, ligaments and tendons are warmed up with a gentle massage to optimally prepare them for the more intensive, deeper treatment.
As the treatment progresses, the massage strokes are gradually intensified and the pressure is increased in order to effectively reach deeper layers of tissue. This can sometimes lead to slight pain. However, if the pain is too severe, the pressure can be adjusted at any time in consultation with your therapist.
What complaints does the Deep Tissue treatment alleviate?
Deep tissue massage stimulates the connective tissue and improves circulation. It aims to loosen hardening and make scar tissue more supple.
Another benefit is the stimulation of the release of oxytocin and serotonin, which have a blood pressure-lowering effect. This makes the treatment particularly valuable for people with high blood pressure. Deep tissue massage can also be helpful after operations or sports injuries, as it promotes the flexibility of tendons, ligaments and muscles in the affected areas.
In addition, people with chronic pain caused by conditions such as rheumatism, arthrosis or migraines also benefit from the intensive effects of this form of massage.
How does a deep tissue treatment at Origin Massage in Basel work?
Before the massage begins, your therapist will carry out a detailed initial analysis to gather all relevant information for the treatment. This exchange usually takes 5 to 20 minutes.
Afterwards, you will be given time to change in peace so that you can enjoy your privacy. This gives you the opportunity to prepare yourself mentally for the treatment and sit comfortably on the massage table.
Based on the previous analysis, the massage will be individually tailored to your complaints. Your therapist will be available for feedback at any time during the treatment in order to adapt the session optimally to your needs.
At the end, you can make further appointments to continue the therapy if required.
When is it better to avoid deep tissue treatment?
Deep tissue massage should be avoided if there are blood clots or an increased risk of blood clots, as the intensive treatment could potentially loosen a clot. This type of massage is also not recommended if you are about to undergo an operation or other medical procedure or are undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
People with osteoporosis or pregnant women should also not undergo deep tissue treatment due to the intense pressure. Caution should also be exercised with bruises, inflammation, infected skin, skin rashes, open wounds, tumors or in areas where a fracture has recently occurred. In such cases, the intense pressure could cause more harm than good.
