Deep Tissue Massage in St Johns, Woking

Relieve tight muscles, ease tension, and move more comfortably with focused deep tissue massage at My Complete Health in St Johns, Woking.


Whether you’re training regularly, sitting for long hours, or just feeling “knotted up”, deep tissue massage can help release stubborn tension and support your recovery.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a focused, hands‑on treatment that works on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It uses slower, more targeted techniques than a general relaxation massage to address specific tight or overworked areas.

It’s ideal if you:

  • Feel “locked up” through your neck, shoulders, hips or back
  • Get regular muscle tightness from work, sport or stress
  • Want something more focused than a light, relaxing massage

At My Complete Health, deep tissue massage is tailored to you , your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Who Is Deep Tissue Massage For?

You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit. Deep tissue massage can help if you:

  • Train regularly (running, gym, cycling, racquet sports, team sports)
  • Have a physically demanding job
  • Spend long hours at a desk and feel tight or tense
  • Are recovering from previous muscle strains (alongside appropriate rehab)
  • Feel “stuck” or restricted in certain movements

If you’re unsure whether a deep tissue or sports massage is best for you, we can talk that through at your first session.

How Deep Tissue Massage Can Help

People often choose deep tissue massage to help with:

Tight neck and shoulders
Upper and lower back tension
Glute and hip tightness
Calf and hamstring tightness
General muscle fatigue and stiffness

Benefits can include:

Reduced muscle tension and soreness
Improved movement and flexibility
A sense of “lightness” or ease after sessions
Support for recovery between training sessions

Deep tissue massage can also work well alongside chiropractic care, strength and rehab, and running coaching as part of a bigger plan.

What to expect in a session:

Your therapist will:

Talk briefly about how you’re feeling, what you do day to day, and what you’d like help with

Focus treatment on key areas of tightness or tension

Work at a depth that is effective but still manageable for you, checking in as they go

You can expect firmer pressure than a relaxation massage, but it should still feel purposeful, not overwhelming.

You’re always welcome to ask questions or request lighter or deeper pressure during your session.

Deep tissue or sports massage?

At My Complete Health, we don’t list deep tissue as a separate appointment type. If you’re looking for deeper work, simply book a sports massage and let us know your preferences, your therapist will tailor the pressure and focus to what your body needs on the day.

Why Choose My Complete Health for Deep Tissue Massage?

  • Experienced therapists used to working with both active and non‑sporting clients
  • Joined‑up care available in the same clinic (chiropractic, strength & rehab, running support)
  • Friendly, welcoming environment where you’re listened to and not rushed
  • Simple online booking and flexible appointment times

I was suffering with chronic pain in my hip and was walking with great discomfort. I was recommended Matthew at The Complete Health in St John’s . After a thorough consultation and body/ joint check, I was relieved to be told it wasn’t arthritis. After a few sessions with Matthew and recommended take home exercises I am glad to say I am now pain free and walking normally. Thank you so much .

Absolute game changer. I have been suffering on and off with my lower back and hips for years and other practitioners only ever dealt with the issues reactively. Matt gave me some exercises as a proactive measure that help keep the issues at bay. He provides a holistic treatment that not only looks at the issue at hand, but gets to the route cause. Highly recommend him. He is funny too so makes your session more relaxed 😊

After working with Kat over the last few months through the online coaching, I've been able to push for multiple PBs! Kat's always been super accommodating and understanding as to my life outside of running and made the plan work very well! Super knowledgeable in everything running and highly recommended! Thanks Kat!

Absolutely brilliant experience with Matt! He is professional, friendly, and an expert in what he does. I feel much better after our sessions which helps me continue all my sports. Also, a special shout-out to Emma on reception, who is always so welcoming. Highly recommended!

Unbelievable. I’ve seen many many chiropractors over the years & Matt is hands down the most knowledgeable I’ve ever seen. He is SO SO good at what he does, explains everything in a way I understand, hands on, practical & realistic. After my first session, months of pain had dissipated & my body was moving far more freely than it was. I would highly recommend to anybody thinking about seeing the team at My Complete Health.

Katherine from My Complete health has been a godsend on my return to running. Having run at quite a competitive level previously I set her quite a tall order. She gave me the confidence and knowledge to execute my challenge but not only that she brought the fun back too. I would highly recommend her and My Complete health for both rehab and or sports guidance.

I've been seeing Dr Hewitson for a few months after ignoring SI Joint pain, his manipulation of the Joint restored movement quickly and effectively and gave me the advice to understand and tackle the underlying issues in the long term :D A really nice friendly clinic too!
