This form of massage penetrates into the deeper layers of muscle to release chronic patterns of tension in the body. Deep tissue massage actually gets right into the connections of tendons and ligaments to bones and around the joints. Pressure is applied through slower strokes, deep finger compression and friction strokes across the grain of the contracted areas. While loosening the muscle tissue, this massage technique unblocks oxygen and nutrients that build up in stressed muscles which cause inflammation and lead to the build up of toxins in the tissue. The result of this treatment is increased mobility and flexibility, leaving the muscles stretched and relaxed.

This deep form of massage is excellent for sports injuries, people who train regularly, muscular problems and many more. Deep Tissue Massage also works on an emotional level, helping to relieve depression, soothing the nerves and reducing stress. Apart from relaxing the muscles, the immune system is boosted, stress levels are reduced and the circulation of blood and lymph are greatly improved. It is perfect for people who enjoy a deeper form of massage, leaving the body feeling like it has had a full body work out. Clients may feel a little achy immediately after the massage but will soon feel revitalised.
