What is Deep Tissue Massage?

As the name would suggest Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues using a variety of techniques to
target areas of chronic tension, break down adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue ) making the muscle tissue more pliable improving flexibility
and associated range of movement.

It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted tissues caused by regular heavy or repetitive work/training. While some of the
techniques used in Swedish massage are also employed here the movements are generally slower and the pressure deeper and concentrated on
areas of tension/discomfort. Other soft tissue techniques may also used to treat specific problems or areas of tension.

Unlike Swedish massage Deep tissue treatments are not designed for relaxation and although many clients do feel more relaxed afterwards there
may be some areas of discomfort during the treatment. This will be discussed with you by your therapist prior to treatment and monitored
throughout to ensure your comfort.
