Deep Tissue Massage

Firm, purposeful pressure into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. At Massage 1936 we have been delivering deep tissue massage in Verbier since 2016. Our therapists understand exactly what chronic tension, old injuries and accumulated fatigue do to the body.

What can it help with?

  • Chronic muscle tightness and recurring pain

  • Old injuries or scar tissue that limits movement

  • Accumulated fatigue from years of sport.

  • Deep tension that stretching cannot reach

  • Anyone who feels their muscles are permanently switched on

Clinic or Chalet

Available at our clinic in the centre of Verbier or at your chalet, apartment or hotel. From CHF 135 for one hour in-clinic. Open year-round.

What to expect

Slow, deliberate pressure into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Your therapist works through surface tension to reach the areas underneath, using sustained techniques that stretching and foam rolling cannot replicate. Some discomfort in areas of chronic tightness is normal. Most people notice significant relief within 24 to 48 hours, with better range of movement and less of that feeling of permanent tension.

Who it's best suited for?

People with long-standing muscle tension rather than acute soreness from a day on the mountain. Particularly effective for recurring pain in the same areas, old injuries that never fully resolved, scar tissue limiting movement, or anyone who feels their body is permanently switched on. If lighter massage hasn't reached the problem before, this will.

Our therapists bring years of experience treating both chronic muscle conditions and acute sports injuries. Several members of the team are qualified physiotherapists, which means they approach deep tissue work with a clinical understanding of what is happening beneath the surface. Available at our clinic or at your chalet.
