Deep Tissue Massage
Beneficial for easing chronic muscle tension, deep tissue massage should be your treatment of choice if you’ve got aches and pains from bad posture, injury or simply from using the muscle in the wrong way for too long. If you’ve got a stiff neck, a strained or twisted shoulder or your lower back is making its presence felt but not in a good way, this is for you.
Pain is really bad for you: the rest of your body tries to compensate, putting you out of kilter and potentially creating even more discomfort than you started with. Deep tissue massage is THE most effective way to restore free movement in the soft tissues and to ease pain or muscle spasms.
Deep tissue massage is comparable to Swedish Massage but applies stronger pressure, focusing on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
Not for the faint hearted, but still working at a level to suit you, this treatment aims to relieve stress and work on creaky joints and tight muscles.
What to Expect During a Deep Tissue Massage
After an initial consultation, including an examination of your range of motion and some “before” testing (we’ll do an “after” test as well), we’ll agree what you want the treatment to achieve.
During the massage, I’ll use my hands, knuckles and even my elbows to uncover and release areas of tension or pain. As it’s a deeper style of massage, you may find that you have a few areas of soreness during or in the days after the treatment. Don’t worry – this is quite normal and means that the muscle or affected area is healing itself.
