Deep tissue massage (also known as remedial massage) targets deeper muscle layers and connective tissue to relieve chronic tension and pain. It uses slower strokes and more intense pressure than other types of massage to address specific muscle issues and improve flexibility.

 

 The main goals of deep tissue massage are to:

1. Relieve Chronic Pain: Address persistent muscle soreness and discomfort.

2. Reduce Muscle Tension: Alleviate tightness and stiffness in deeper muscle layers.

3. Improve Flexibility: Enhance range of motion by loosening tight muscles.

4. Address Specific Issues: Target problem areas or injuries for targeted relief.

5. Promote Healing: Support recovery from muscle strain or injury.

 

The use of our muscles during activity and exercise can lead to the formulation of muscle fibre adhesions, muscle spasm or muscular over-activity, scar tissue and areas of congestion.  All of this will impair muscle function and therefore power, performance and flexibility.  Over time, if these issues remain untreated, the body will start to develop compensations and altered movement patterns which lead to pain and eventually injury. It is not until we feel pain or an injury occurs that we realise that there is a problem. Massage is a regular MOT for the body.

 

Our massage treatments are very specialist and comprise of an advanced combination of deep pressure massage, stretching, trigger-point treatment, myofascial release and other soft-tissue release techniques, along with advice on exercises and self-help between treatments.
