Deep Tissue Massage

Experience relief from chronic muscle tension and pain while improving your mobility with Bergmann's “less pain, more gain” approach to deep tissue massage. The treatment focuses on releasing tension layer by layer with techniques such as deep pressure, trigger point release, and dynamic cupping. Many clients enjoy 30 to 60 minutes of assisted stretching on a warm table before their massage for an enhanced experience.

FAQ's About Deep Tissue Massage

Please reach Gudjon Bergmann (LMT, MMP) at contactmindfulhands@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

  • Arrive early to reduce stress.
  • Communicate your needs to Gudjon.
  • Concentrate on the treatment and try to relax.
  • Exhale when pressure is applied.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before and after the treatment.
  • Allow yourself time to rest and recover afterwards.
  • Take a bath with Epsom salts afterward to help rehydrate your muscles (unless you have diabetes).


The answer to this question depends on the level of tension you are experiencing prior to your arrival. Clients often report feeling as though they have had a workout and may experience mild soreness for a few days afterward. The self-care methods mentioned earlier can help reduce this soreness.


Most clients schedule massages once or twice a month, but if you're experiencing higher levels of tension, you may benefit from weekly sessions. While a deep tissue massage every other month can provide health benefits, having fewer sessions is similar to exercising only once a month—it’s not enough to improve your condition, but it can help prevent it from getting worse. Even getting one massage a year is better than none at all.


The aim of deep tissue massage is to promote muscle release. If a massage causes pain, it can lead to involuntary muscle contractions, which increase tension. Bergmann's approach takes this principle into account and works through muscle layers gradually. Clients are encouraged to communicate their comfort levels, as the pain experienced should never exceed a 7 on a scale of 0 to 10.


The increasing popularity of Stretch Labs across the country has made people aware of the benefits of assisted stretching. When combined with a deep tissue massage, stretching is particularly effective for relieving stiffness in the legs and lower back. Bergmann utilizes a combination of dynamic, static, and PNF stretching techniques to achieve optimal results.


The choice between deep tissue and medical massage depends on your needs and preferences. Deep tissue massage is ideal if you enjoy the smooth, flowing sensations of a traditional massage. On the other hand, medical massage is more suitable if you want to concentrate on a specific issue, remain partially clothed during the session, receive an assessment, participate in active release techniques, and obtain detailed notes for your insurance or healthcare provider.

"This was possibly the best massage I have ever had. Gudjon took the time to find out where my tension and stress were concentrated and helped me with exercises to reduce this in the future. His extensive and detailed knowledge of the human muscle system really helped work on those tight areas."
