How much is enough? How deep is too deep for a deep tissue massage? Should massage be painful? For the decade that I worked as a massage therapist, the most frequently discussed question in my office was “the pressure question.”
Deep tissue massage is an informal and imprecise term for intense massage. The term has no specific medical meaning, and what it means will vary from one massage therapist to the next. In most cases, therapists assume that it involves some kind of helpful change to soft tissue, though exactly what that means is perpetually unclear.
In practice, deep tissue massage mostly just means “strong massage.” Probably the majority of therapists offering deep tissue massage consider causing mild to moderate pain to be a normal and acceptable part of the work.
Strong massage may not be called “deep tissue”; there are several other massage styles and manual therapies that are quite intense.

I’ve been going here for a while now; I visit every time I want a good detox. The staff has always welcomed me. Highly recommended for those who want to get a relaxing massage.
Cleanliness at spas has always been a concern for me but Urban Spa left me totally satisfied. This place is like a paradise. Their rooms, products and staff are remarkable. I really liked the place and will definitely be visiting it often. Thanks for pampering me guys. Cheers.
Very nice place. Its is quiet and relaxing inside. The massage rooms are also very nice and comfortable. The staff was able to schedule me the same day and work with my tight schedule. The staff is also very nice.
"I was at Urban Spa today and it was an amazing experience. The managers at the reception are so welcoming and the moment you enter, you can smell the aroma which by itself will make you feel relaxed. The staff is kind to help you pick the therapy that your body needs. I recommend this place! "
