Not sure what kind of massage you need?
Just choose your time, every session at Essential Massage with Jo is fully tailored to you.
When you arrive, we’ll chat about how you’re feeling and what you want from your massage. Whether you’re looking to deeply relax, ease pain, or both—we’ll shape the session around what your body needs most.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the two main styles we can work with:
Relaxation Massage
A gentle, flowing massage that soothes the nervous system and promotes deep rest.
Best for:
Reducing stress and anxiety
Improving sleep and emotional wellbeing
Calming the mind and body
Reconnecting with yourself
Relaxation massage moves your body into a rest-and-repair state—where true healing happens.
Deep Tissue Massage
A more focused, firm-pressure massage that targets deeper muscle and fascia layers.
Best for:
Long-term tension or chronic pain
Tight shoulders, stiff neck, lower back discomfort
Postural strain or muscle overuse
Improving range of motion and circulation
Deep tissue doesn’t have to mean painful.
Some tenderness is normal, but you should never feel the need to ‘grin and bear it.’
Your voice matters.
Let me know what feels good, what doesn’t, and how you’re responding—your session is your space. You deserve to enjoy it.
And here’s the real advantage of tailoring your session:
We can combine both. You might want deep tissue on a targeted area like your shoulders or back, while enjoying relaxation everywhere else.
The choice is yours—just say what you need.
Still unsure? Just book the time, and we’ll work it out together.
