About Deep Tissue Talks
Deep Tissue Talks is a podcast that explores pain, performance, and healing through real-life treatment sessions and intimate conversations at the intersection of body, mind, and nervous system.
Hosted by Doris Martel, manual therapist and performance specialist, the podcast takes listeners inside hands-on sessions with athletes, dancers, high performers, and everyday humans navigating chronic pain, recurring injuries, stress, and pressure. Each episode reveals how pain is rarely just mechanical — and how posture, fascia, beliefs, emotions, and life experiences shape the body.
Through manual therapy, myofascial release, somatic exploration, breath, and presence, Deep Tissue Talks uncovers the deeper messages behind physical tension and the conditions required for true healing to occur: safety, awareness, and connection.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to understand why pain keeps coming back, how the body communicates through sensation, and how healing becomes possible when force is replaced with listening.
Deep Tissue Talks is not about fixing the body —
it’s about understanding it.
