Deep tissue massage allows the therapist to work deeper into the muscles, tendons, and fascia of the body to work out adhesions, triggerpoints, scarring, and to promote positive structural change. Recommended for those who want specific work on chronically tense or contracted areas. Some of the strokes are similar to those in a Swedish massage, but the movement is slower and the pressure deeper and concentrated on areas of pain and discomfort.

55-minute long student treatments performed by students of The New School for Massage at the school's location, under the supervision of an instructor. Student therapists will, at a minimum, be able to provide a Swedish (relaxation) massage; depending on their level of training at the time of the appointment, they may also have the skills to perform condition-specific work but we cannot guarantee that as appointments are randomly assigned to students at the beginning of their shift. If you have requests for a specific therapist, gender, conditions to be addressed, or specific bodywork modality, we recommend a professional therapist. Note: these treatments take place at The New School for Massage, 800 N. Wells, ste 300, in Chicago.
