Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deep layers of muscle in the body. It works by using slow and firm massage strokes that concentrate the pressure a lot deeper than classic massage therapy; the focus is on the deeper layers of your body’s muscle tissue, reaching the thick muscles, and targeting the individual muscle fibres. Deep Tissue Massage works by breaking down adhesions, increasing the flow of blood to muscles and helping to reduce inflammation in the body. It is particularly effective for chronic muscle injury and those who are seeking injury rehabilitation. It is a popular technique with sports massage and can help improve sporting performance.

This is a full-body massage with a bit more pressure. By targeting more trigger points we aim to get those knots out while still making you feel a deep sense of relief and rejuvenation. “Deep Tissue” implies a specific focus on the dense layers of muscle and fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds the muscle. However, Deep Tissue massage does not necessarily always mean deep pressure – “deep” can also refer to the impact of the massage on your body as a restorative therapy.

This type of therapy utilizes specialized hands-on therapeutic massage techniques to restore and balance the flow of energy within the body. Centuries of wisdom from Eastern healing practices have taught us that our bodies have both a physical anatomy and an energy anatomy. Disturbances within the energy fields in our body can have a negative effect on our overall health and trigger any number of adverse physical and emotional symptoms. An energy blockage can manifest itself in many forms, ranging from chronic or acute pain to emotional disruptions.
