What is Deep Tissue Massage Therapy?

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy works the deep layers of muscles and connective tissue in the body, using deep finger pressures and slow firm strokes, deep tissue massage is an effective treatment for various chronic issues.

It aims to relieve chronic areas of tension in the body and helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. As will all forms of massage it improves circulation and aids the elimination of toxins, but this deep treatment significantly improves the effectiveness of this process to deliver quick results.

This massage technique is exceptionally beneficial for people who suffer from consistent chronic muscle pain, and is very effective on the larger muscle groups of the neck, shoulders and upper arms, lower back, hips, glutes and legs.

This type of massage is usually combined with the Swedish Massage style to ensure that the area being worked is fully warmed up before the deep tissue work commences, this will minimise any discomfort felt during treatment. Working the deeper tissue, this technique will feel firmer than less invasive treatments, but done properly it should not be unbearable and though it may cause a little soreness immediately following the treatment the area should feel much improved within a day or too.
