Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage at Elvara Spa costs AED 700 for 60 minutes and AED 900 for 90 minutes. It is the treatment to book when your back, neck or shoulders feel locked, or when your legs are heavy after training. Sessions take place in a private room at Royal M Hotel by Gewan in Al Bateen, every day from 11:00 to 01:00.
What makes it different
The therapist works slowly and with firm, sustained pressure, using forearms, knuckles and thumbs to reach the deeper layers of muscle and the connective tissue around it. Strokes go along and across the muscle fibres to release areas that a lighter massage would only warm up. The pace is slower than in a Swedish massage, because deep layers need time to let go.
Who usually books it
Most of our deep tissue guests are office workers with a stiff upper back, people who train several times a week, or someone who tried a relaxing massage and felt it never reached the problem. If your tension sits mainly in the upper body and you are short on time, our 30 minute back and shoulder massage is a quicker option.
Does it hurt
You will feel pressure and occasionally a strong, "good pain" sensation on a tight spot. Sharp or shooting pain is not normal, and you should say so straight away. Some muscle soreness for a day or two afterwards is common, a bit like after a workout. We explain what is normal in more detail in does deep tissue massage hurt.
Before and after
Tell the therapist about injuries, recent surgery, blood thinners or pregnancy before you start. Drink water afterwards and avoid heavy training the same day. If you have ongoing back pain, our page on massage for back pain covers when massage helps and when to see a doctor first.
60 or 90 minutes
Sixty minutes is usually enough to work on one or two problem areas plus a general full body pass. Ninety minutes suits guests who want the whole back, neck, shoulders and legs treated properly. See every duration on our price page.
