Any good recommendations for a good masseuse that specializes in deep tissue with a sports medicine background? Hi r/Austin,
I've been extremely inactive and lethargic lately with the recent quarantine (think summer of George for my Seinfeld fans) and I'm in the process of getting out of that rut. One issue is that I think my extended period of inactivity and constant sitting/laying down has caused my entire back and glutes area to tighten up ....to the point where I'm feeling a lot of spasms, trigger points, and pulled muscles.
Does anyone have recommendations for a good massage therapist that specializes in deep tissue with a sort of sports medicine type of background?
Thank you in advance, and I hope everyone's staying safe during these crazy times!
Edit: changed masseuse to massage therapist

If you're near Round Rock, [Teena Welch Massage and Bodywork](https://www.teenawelchmassage.com/) is amazing. But let me be clear: she will dig in and hurt you. The amazing part doesn't happen until the next day.
Massage - suggestions? Can anyone recommend a good massage therapist in Austin who doesn’t also push pseudoscientific therapies like acupressure, reiki, cupping, reflexology, and so on? Ideally I’d like someone who doesn’t do any of these alternative treatments, but I’d settle for someone who just isn’t going to try to persuade me that I need any of them.
Thanks!

I go to [Teena Welch Massage and Bodywork](https://www.teenawelchmassage.com/). Admittedly, she's in Round Rock, not Austin, but she's right off of I-35. I have back and hip trouble, and she makes it go away for a few months with just one treatment. She will dig in and *hurt* you, but it will feel a million times better the next day.
