Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that involves applying firm pressure

and slow strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

It is mainly used to treat  musculoskeletal issues, which can include strains, soreness,

and sporting injuries.

​

This technique is particularly beneficial for people with chronic pain, limited mobility,

or recovering from an injury. Deep tissue massage can help to improve blood

circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. It is a more focused type of

massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots.

A quality deep-tissue massage helps to:

• loosen muscle tissues, 

• release toxins from muscles, and

• get blood and oxygen circulating properly.

​

It is a common myth that a deep tissue massage should hurt #nopainnogain. A deep tissue massage is likely to be a bit more "comfortably uncomfortable" than a lighter style relaxation style massage, especially if you have some large chronic knots. We will always check in and communicate with you throughout your treatment. Essentially, even when uncomfortable it should always feel relieving.

 

If you're looking for a massage that can help alleviate tension and pain, consider trying deep tissue massage.
