In depth

What is Decontracting Massage?

A decontracting massage — known internationally as "deep tissue massage" — focuses on the deep layers of muscle and fascia, where chronic tension and "knots" (contractures) live. Unlike a relaxing or Swedish-style massage, the goal is not surface relaxation. It is mechanical release: applying sustained, targeted pressure to break the cycle of hypertonic muscle fibres that have lost the ability to release on their own. According to the canonical definition, the technique focuses on releasing tight or knotted areas of the muscles by applying strong pressure, either through direct contact or vibration. That is the work I do — but with judgement, not brute force. Pressure is calibrated to your tolerance, breath, and the response of the tissue itself, session by session.

“So happy I found Janka! She massaged some really important spots on my body that has never been touched before (but needed) She's fantastic, I was melting, and she gave me tips and taught me self massages to take home that have been a game changer already! Highly recommend! She makes you feel comfortable and is a joy to talk to!”

“Amazing massage, Janka knows her trade very well, and was very attentive, she gave me a massage personalized to me. Meaning she found the areas where I was tense and worked on them, gave tips on where on my body I have some ongoing issues, and suggestions of how to solve them. Never had such a personalized massage experience before.”

“Honestly the best I have ever had. I am very picky with the pressuring, and I have to say that Janka felt my body so well that I didn't have to say or correct anything about her practice. And I have tried a looot of massages around the world! She is very skilled and knowledgeable, and I would follow her advice undoubtedly. I look forward to coming back and meeting her again! Thank you so very much Janka 🙏🏼”

“Just had a few days to relax in Las Palmas and I wanted to find a therapist to avoid skipping a week of my regular sessions back home. I found Janka online. Janka is very easy going and very professional and she listened carefully and adapt to want I thought I needed. At the same time she managed to try a few things on her own, very successfully I may add. Even though I am very used to my own therapist I will book more sessions with her next time for sure. Very recommended.”

“Fantastic, Professional and great skills. Came with few shoulder and back pain issues, Janka managed to locate the issue, relieved the pain and felt so much better. Janka clearly knows what to do and even gave me some practical tips and exercises thereafter. Came back next week and equally great. Highly recommend!”

Method

How a decontracting massage session works

01 Step 01

Listen first

Every decontracting massage starts with a real conversation, not a checklist. Janka asks about your goal for today, your pressure preference, sensitive areas, recent injuries, and what's worked (or not) in past sessions. The 5-minute consultation is free — never deducted from your treatment hour — and shapes every choice she makes once you're on the table.

  • Free 5-minute intake — not deducted from your hour
  • Private studio in Guanarteme, never a shared spa floor
  • Disposable underwear, fresh linens and robe provided
5 min pre-session

02 Step 02

Work with intention

Deep, targeted techniques address the root cause of persistent muscle pain rather than just masking symptoms. Pressure is adjusted in real time — Janka checks in at the 5-, 20-, and 40-minute marks so the session lands exactly where you need it. No music templates, no rushed transitions, no upsell midway through.

  • Adjustable pressure — light, medium, or deeper sustained work
  • Hypoallergenic oils, warm towels, soft ambient soundscape
  • Speak up any time — change pressure, position, or temperature

03 Step 03

Leave with guidance

You leave with two or three simple practices that fit your body — usually a stretch, a self-massage cue, and a sleep or breathing tip. Most clients feel the benefit on the same day; the goal is that the ease you feel walking out the door stays with you through the week. Janka follows up by WhatsApp 48 hours later to check how you slept and whether anything tightened back up.

  • Personalised stretches and self-massage cues for your body
  • WhatsApp check-in 48 hours later — how you feel, what shifted
  • Easy rebook — same therapist, same studio, same chair
5–10 min closing + 48 h follow-up

04 Safety first

When decontracting massage is not the right call

Decontracting massage is not appropriate if you have an acute injury (less than 72 hours old) — wait for the inflammation phase to pass; you are on blood thinners or have a clotting disorder — deep pressure can bruise easily; you have uncontrolled hypertension — the cardiovascular load is real; you are in the first trimester of pregnancy — book a pregnancy massage instead; or you have an active fever, infection, or skin condition in the area. If any of these apply, message me before booking and we will reschedule or swap to a gentler treatment.

05 After the session

What to do in the next 24 hours

In the first 24 hours after a decontracting session, you may feel pleasantly tired and slightly sore in the worked areas — this is the lactate-flush response, not damage. Drink an extra litre of water that day. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours. Take a warm (not hot) bath if you can; epsom salts amplify the release. By day 2 you should feel noticeably looser, with broader range of motion in the worked area. If soreness persists past 72 hours, message me — that is outside the normal range and we will talk.

Comparison

Decontracting vs relaxing massage — which one for me?

If your main concern is mental — stress, sleep, anxiety — relaxing wins. If your main concern is physical — chronic knots, limited range of motion, post-training recovery — decontracting wins. You can also alternate: decontracting one month, relaxing the next.

Frequently asked

Decontracting Massage · FAQ

Everything most clients ask before booking a decontracting massage in Las Palmas.

How is decontracting massage different from relaxing massage?

Decontracting massage targets chronic knots and deep tension using focused therapeutic pressure. Relaxing massage uses lighter techniques mainly for general stress reduction.If your goal is lasting relief from persistent pain and restricted movement, decontracting massage is the better fit.

Will decontracting massage hurt?

You may feel strong therapeutic pressure in tight areas, but it should stay manageable. Janka works at an effective intensity without forcing pain.The goal is productive release, not overwhelming discomfort.

How sore will I be after decontracting massage?

Mild to moderate soreness for 24-48 hours is common, similar to post-workout soreness. This usually settles within a few days.Hydration, gentle movement, and avoiding intense exercise after treatment help recovery.

How many sessions will I need?

For long-standing chronic tension, many clients benefit from 4-6 weekly or bi-weekly sessions first, then maintenance.For acute problems, fewer sessions may be enough. Treatment frequency is personalized to your condition and progress.

Can I get decontracting massage if I have a health condition?

Often yes, but certain conditions require caution or medical approval. Always share your health history before treatment.If you have recent surgery, severe cardiovascular concerns, clotting issues, or other complex conditions, Janka will adapt safely or advise clearance first.

What should I do to prepare for my session?

Hydrate well, avoid heavy meals right before your appointment, and wear comfortable clothing. Arrive a few minutes early and be ready to communicate pressure tolerance.

Can I combine decontracting massage with other services?

Yes. Many clients combine decontracting sessions with relaxing massage, reflexology, or quiro massage depending on their goals.Janka can recommend the best sequence for pain relief, recovery, and long-term maintenance.
