Why Japanese Deep Tissue Massage Is Different

When people hear “deep tissue massage,” many imagine strong pressure and pain.
Japanese deep tissue massage is different.

In Japan, deep tissue work is not about force.
It is about precision, anatomy, and balance.

At KARTENA KYOTO, deep tissue massage is performed based on:

• Detailed anatomical knowledge
• Years of clinical experience
• Careful observation of each guest’s body condition

Rather than pressing harder, we focus on releasing deep tension safely by working along muscle layers, fascia, and natural movement patterns.

Many travelers tell us:

“It feels deep, but never aggressive.”
“My body feels lighter the next day, not sore.”

This approach is especially appreciated by guests who:

• Walk a lot while traveling in Japan
• Have chronic neck, shoulder, or lower back tension
• Prefer therapeutic results over temporary relaxation

Japanese deep tissue massage is calm, controlled, and intentional.
It is designed to help your body recover — not fight against it.
