Book a Deep tissue massage →Why book a Deep tissue massage at home?
A deep tissue massage uses slow strokes and firm, sustained pressure on specific areas, such as the upper back, shoulders, neck and legs. It feels more intense than a Swedish massage. A RHEA therapist comes to your home in Dubai with the table, linens and oils, and adjusts the pressure with you during the session.

What happens, step by step
Arrival and setup
Your therapist sets up a professional table in about ten minutes, in a space of roughly two by two metres.
Book a massage →Agreeing the focus
You point out the areas that feel tight and agree a pressure level. Deep does not mean painful: you can ask for less at any moment.
Warming up
The session starts with broader, lighter strokes so the muscles are warm before firmer work.
Focused work
Slow, firm pressure on the agreed areas, with linens covering you except the area being massaged.
Afterwards
Drink water and keep the rest of the day easy. Some people feel a little tender the next day, which usually passes quickly.

Who deep tissue suits
- You sit at a desk or on a laptop for long hours and your shoulders feel tight.
- You prefer firm pressure and find lighter massages too gentle.
- You have had massages before and know the areas you want worked on.
- You spend a lot of time in the car or on flights.
- You want a focused session on two or three areas instead of a general one.
What does a 90-minute deep tissue massage at home include?
Ninety minutes of hands-on time, which leaves room for focused work and a full-body finish. Your therapist brings the table, fresh linens and oils. It costs AED 550 with travel within our areas included. Muscle Relax Oil (AED 45) is a popular add-on.
Deep tissue, sports or Swedish: how they differ
When to wait
Deep tissue is not for a fresh injury, a recent operation or an area that is swollen or bruised. If you are unsure, check with your doctor first. Pregnant guests should book a pregnancy massage instead.

Is deep tissue right for you?
A good fit if you…
- like firm pressure
- want focused work on your back, neck or legs
- have had massages before
Choose another option if you…
- want a gentle, sleepy session (choose Swedish)
- are pregnant (choose pregnancy massage)
- have a fresh injury
Pressure and technique
Deep tissue is less about pressing hard and more about pressing slowly. Your therapist works in layers: broad strokes first, then the forearm, knuckles or thumbs, moving along the length of the muscle and holding firm pressure on a tight spot for a few slow breaths.
A simple scale helps. Think of 1 as barely there and 10 as too much. Most people are comfortable around 6 or 7 for focused work. If you notice yourself holding your breath or tensing, the pressure is too high, so say a number and it will change.
Your therapist works with you
RHEA therapists are trained and vetted, and in a deep tissue session they watch how your body responds as much as they listen. Shallow breathing, a clenched hand or a shoulder lifting off the table are all signs to ease off, and they will, without you having to ask.
They will never push through a spot that hurts sharply. Firm work should feel like a strong, satisfying ache, not something you need to brace for.
Before your session: preparation
- Make a short note of where you feel tight, and whether one side is worse than the other.
- Skip a heavy gym session on the same day, so your therapist is not working on muscles that are already tired.
- Drink water through the day, especially in the warmer months.
- Tell us in the booking notes about any recent injury, operation or condition.
The day after deep tissue
It is common to feel loose straight away and a little tender the next day, similar to the morning after a new workout. A warm shower, a gentle walk and plenty of water usually help you feel comfortable again. Leave hard training for a day if you can.
How often to book
Many people who sit for long hours in DIFC or Business Bay offices, or who fly often for work, settle into a session every three to four weeks. A useful pattern is to start with 90 minutes to cover everything, then keep a 60-minute session for the two or three areas that tighten up first.
