Gentle pressure mixed with deep tissue if you wish.

Deep Tissue Massage
Firmer, stronger pressure, using sharper tools such as fingertips, knuckles, forearms and elbows. These healing techniques are slower and more concentrated on tight, contracted muscles and connective tissue, with results that will unravel those muscles that get so knotted and tight. Along with allowing tight muscles to relax, deep tissue massage also works out toxins built up in daily life as well as results of mild to extreme physical activity. You’ll decrease your discomfort and increase your flexibility and range of motion, allowing your entire body to feel much younger and able to increase performance.
