Deep Tissue Massage
What is Deep Tissue Massage ?
Deep tissue massage is a technique that involves slow, longitudinal gliding strokes with the intent of encouraging tissue elongation and elasticity.
It’s used in many different types of massage modalities - including sports massage, structural bodywork and more. Strokes can be applied over a broad surface, or involve deep stripping of a more localised area - which makes it great for targeting trigger points! It helps reduce hypertonicity and increase pliability of the muscles.
WHEN DONE RIGHT, DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE IS DEEPLY ENJOYABLE. IT’S ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE TECHNIQUES BOTH TO ADMINISTER, AND TO RECEIVE. NO MASSAGE IS COMPLETE WITHOUT SOME DEEP TISSUE WORK!
Appropriate pressure levels are achieved through client communication and a listening touch - with the most effective outcome lying at the threshold between pleasure and pain.
