Deep tissue vs sports massage

Deep tissue is a pressure style for whole-body tension; sports massage is aimed at the muscles an activity uses.

At Wonder Spa they're one service, so you don't have to choose.

One service on the menu

The menu lists a single option, Sports / Deep Tissue. Book it, then tell your therapist what you do and how firm you want it. The deep tissue massage page covers the service, and the sports massage guide covers what to say.

What to tell your therapist

Start with your activity: running, lifting, a job spent on your feet. Then name the spots you want time on, and give a pressure level. Firm is what this service is for, but firm for you is your call, and you can change it mid-session.
