Deep Tissue Massage 

PAIN RELIEF. MOBILITY. RESTORE

 

Specialising in Deep Tissue Massage; this massage is a preventative and restorative treatment. If you have aches, pains and tensions that cannot be reached by Swedish Massage, then you should try Deep Tissue Massage, where the pressure is deeper, the pace slower and pain is alleviated in the long term. Deep Tissue Massage generally focuses on a deeper layer of musculature and fascia. It works to realign the different layers of tissue, treating the tendons, ligaments and fascia, as well as the muscles to release tension and provide pain relief. Working in a deeper manner by relaxing the superficial musculature and then sinking in to access the deeper muscles. Certain massage techniques are first used to warm the muscles to prepare to apply pressure into the deeper muscles. This is why Deep Tissue Massage takes longer to work on all areas of the body, so a fully body Deep Tissue Massage will usually take 1.5 or 2 hours, depending on your ailments. Myofascial Release techniques and Trigger Point Therapy is often additionally used for further benefit, as well as relaxing the scalp, should the client enjoy this.

 

The list of conditions that can be effectively treated using Deep Tissue Massage is extensive and includes repetitive strain, postural problems, sciatica, sports injury and recovery from falls and muscle tension and pain across all body areas.
