Deep Tissue Massage
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage is a treatment that focuses on targeting specific areas of the body that may be experiencing tension, or are subjected to scar tissue which can be broken up and eliminated through the application of the deep tissue massage.
How does it work & what can I expect from a treatment session?
It is performed by applying deep finger pressure on contracted areas of the body, and then going across of simply following the fibres of muscles, tendons and fascia whilst moving the finger in slow strokes to ensure maximum benefit is gained from every instance of contact. Due to the pressure that is applied to specifically targeted areas during the treatment, recipients may experience some soreness, or tenderness around these areas of application; however within a day or two the recipient should feel better than ever.
It is best practice to combine deep tissue massage treatment with further massage procedures that may be applicable to the client, such as remedial or sports massage.
