Deep Tissue Massage in The Hague
When tension lives deep in the muscle, a gentle touch will only go so far.
A targeted treatment for a specific area of tension. Your therapist focuses entirely on one area of your choice, upper back and shoulders, lower back, or legs, applying medium to firm pressure and precise neuromuscular techniques to address knots, stiffness and restricted movement. Ideal for a recurring problem area, post-workout tightness or a specific complaint that needs real attention.

What's included in each session?
A targeted treatment for a specific area of tension. Your therapist focuses entirely on one chosen area – the upper back and shoulders, the lower back, or the legs – using moderate to firm pressure and precise neuromuscular techniques to address knots, stiffness, and restricted movement. Ideal for a recurring problem area, post-exercise tension, or a specific complaint that requires extra attention.
A complete full body deep tissue session including the scalp. Your therapist works through the back, legs, arms and scalp with medium to firm pressure, addressing tension throughout the body in one thorough treatment. Before you begin, you share your focus points and any areas to avoid. If you prefer to dedicate the entire 50 minutes to one area, that is entirely possible.
The full body deep tissue experience, with a warm foot bath to open the session. The foot bath softens the body and begins the release process before the massage even starts, allowing your therapist to work more effectively into deeper layers of tension throughout. A well-rounded treatment for those who carry chronic tension across the whole body.
The most complete deep tissue treatment we offer. Starting with a warm foot bath, your therapist works deeply through the entire body and closes the session with a dedicated mini facial using targeted pressure point sequences on the face. A head-to-toe treatment for deep, sustained release and full body recovery.
The power of a Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage goes beyond surface-level relaxation.
By applying deliberate pressure to these areas, the therapist breaks down adhesions, releases muscle fibres that have become stuck together and restores healthy blood flow to tissue that has been tight and oxygen-deprived. The result is not just temporary relief. With regular treatment, deep tissue massage can significantly reduce chronic pain, improve posture, restore range of motion and prevent tension from building back up.
By applying targeted pressure to these areas, the therapist helps to break down adhesions, release muscle fibres that have become stuck together, and restore healthy circulation to tissue that has been tense for extended periods and received less oxygen. The result is more than just temporary relief. With regular treatments, Deep Tissue Massage can significantly reduce chronic pain, improve posture, restore range of motion, and help prevent tension from rebuilding.
You may feel firm pressure during the session and some sensitivity in areas of deep tension. This is normal and a sign the technique is reaching the right layers. Our therapists always work within your comfort level and adjust pressure throughout the session based on your feedback.

Frequently asked questions
What is a deep tissue massage?
It is an intensive massage using medium to firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is designed to break down knots, release chronic tension, ease stiffness and restore movement, going significantly further than a standard relaxing massage.
Is a deep tissue massage painful?
You may feel firm pressure and some sensitivity in areas of tension, but the treatment should never feel painful. Our therapists work carefully within your comfort level throughout the session and adjust pressure based on your feedback. Communication during the massage is always welcome and encouraged.
What is the difference between a deep tissue and a relaxing massage?
Our relaxing massage uses soft to medium pressure and focuses on overall rest and everyday tension relief. Our deep tissue massage uses medium to firm pressure and works more intensively into deeper muscle layers to address knots, chronic tension, stiffness and restricted movement. If you carry persistent tension, muscle tightness or recurring complaints, the deep tissue massage is the better choice.
Can I indicate which areas the massage should focus on?
Absolutely. Before every session your therapist asks which areas you would like to focus on and which areas you prefer to avoid. If you want to dedicate your entire session to one area such as the back, that is entirely possible.
The treatment will be fully tailored to your wishes and needs.
Is deep tissue massage suitable for everyone?
In most cases, yes. Do you have a medical condition, a recent injury, an active inflammation, or are you pregnant? If so, please let us know when you make your appointment so we can advise you on the most suitable treatment. At Amilda, we also offer a special pregnancy massage.
How often should I book a treatment?
For chronic tension or a specific concern, we recommend starting with weekly or fortnightly sessions until you notice consistent improvement. Monthly maintenance sessions are ideal for keeping tension from building back up.
What is the difference in the duration of the treatments?
The 30-minute session is a focused treatment on one area of your choice. The 50-minute session covers the full body including the scalp. The 80-minute session adds a warm foot bath at the start. The 110-minute session includes both a foot bath and a mini facial with pressure point sequences at the end.
What should I do before my massage?
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to relax and complete a short intake form. Avoid heavy meals just before your session and drink plenty of water beforehand to keep your muscles hydrated.
What should I do after my massage?
Drink plenty of water after your treatment to support recovery. Take it easy for a few hours, avoid strenuous activity and allow your body time to absorb the benefits. Some mild muscle soreness the next day is completely normal and should pass within 24 hours.
