Deep Tissue Massage 074 215 4256

Deep Tissue is quite a strong massage. The aim is to reach deep lying muscles to release the tension that is stored there.

First, sufficient time needs to be spent on warming up the muscles and relaxing the superficial muscles so that less pressure need be applied to reach the deeper tissue of the musculature.

As the treatment progresses the massage depth and pressure increase. Eventually you’re experiencing a firm massage preferably with a stretching feeling in the muscles during the stroke.

At this stage you would start to become aware of more sensitive spots in various places. What has happened here is that the upper layer of muscles have relaxed to the level that tension spots in the deeper lying muscles have become easier to reach, therefore to treat.

A therapist can either treat these by applying more massage techniques in the form of different types of strokes in different directions to break these tension spots down, or use trigger point therapy.

My personal favorite is trigger point therapy. It specifically focuses on the tension spot. The pain level is kept within your own range, improvement is immediate and results are guaranteed to be longer lasting. And I've just added myoskeletal alignment techniques to the treatment.
