Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Firm pressure and slow strokes to reach your deeper layers
Service Description
Most of us have occupations that encourage repetitive postures and emotional lives that can contribute to us developing muscular pain and tension over time. Deep tissue massage focuses on releasing the deeper myofascial restrictions in the deeper muscles, tendons and ligaments. It's used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. The therapist will work closely with the client to directly address their areas of tension. Deep Tissue Massage mainly uses slow deep strokes to release chronic muscle tension, with the intent of breaking up old structureal patterns and allowing the free flow of nutrients and oxygen to the area. The aim is to detect any restricted, stiff, knotted or painful areas and use specific hand positions and strokes and breathing techniques. Deep tissue helps to free trapped nerves, oxygenate poorly circulated areas and allow the spine and joints to relax into alignment. Deep Tissue Massage can also promote emotional release during a session as the body holds emotions in the deeper layers of the body. Any emotional release including tears, sighing or laughter are welcome in the session as the body releases what it has been holding.
