Therapeutic Massage
Deep tissue massage techniques allow the muscles to be stretched and lengthened to provide better alignment of the muscles and less restriction in the joints, improving their movement and function.
deep tissue massage is ideal for muscle tension, pain relief, alleviating daily stress which is vital to your health.
Each deep tissue massage will be tailored to focus on exactly what is needed by you, the client. There is not necessarily a hard line between deep tissue and therapeutic massage, and many sessions often incorporate both depending on your needs. Rather than being overly concerned with choosing the “right” massage, I will establish your goals for your session so that I can customise the right blend of techniques for you which may include all or some of the following - deep tissue and therapeutic massage, hot stones, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage and light stretching.
Some believe that the more a deep tissue massage hurts, the more effective the work. This is not only an inaccurate and potentially harmful picture of this type of therapy, but such misguided practices can elicit a defensive reaction in a client’s body, and worsen pain cycles. Properly executed deep tissue massage work should not cause the client to grit their teeth in pain! By softening the superficial layers first and moving slowly into the deeper layers, deep tissue massage allows the client’s muscles and soft tissue to relax and be more responsive to the massage. Old adhesions and chronic dysfunctional patterns are altered, leading to a much more fluid, easy sense in the body.
