Enjoy health and well being with deep tissue massage therapy

As the name suggests, deep tissue massage therapy focuses on releasing tension held within the deeper muscle layers of the body.  Using specific pressure and massage techniques deep tissue massage therapy assists in releasing chronic tension accumulated in the body.

Why deep tissue therapy

Deep tissue massage is recommended for people who suffer from severe pain and stiffness either from injuries, a build-up of chronic tension, or from physical and sporting activities.  By working on the deeper layers of muscles in the hips or shoulder regions, deep tissue massage has an immediate and lasting effect on improving joint mobility, allowing you to move freely once more without pain or stiffness.

Benefits of deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage therapy is particularly beneficial for people who have constant pain in the muscles around the neck, shoulders and lower back. These chronic pains are often due to repetitive activities, work related tension, postural issues or sporting and recreational activities.

Some key advantages that can be enjoyed from deep tissue massage therapy include:

  • Improved mobility and posture
  • Increased blood circulation
  • Relief from chronic pain
  • Reduction in tension and stress levels

Why choose deep tissue massage therapy

Unlike relaxation massage, the firmer style of deep tissue massage has a penetrating and longer lasting effect on the body. Being a stronger form of massage, you will definitely feel the strength and pressure, but in a way that provides a release of tension. As they say: “no pain, no gain”.  Your therapist will always ask you how firm you would like them to go.

After your initial treatments you should consider deep tissue massage on a monthly basis to prevent the return of muscular tension and to keep you feeling happy, healthy and loose.
