Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage: is a technique that basically aims to stimulate the muscles that are further from the surface of the skin. It can be highly intense in pressure and is much more focused in specific areas as compared to more general relaxation specific massage techniques. It's main focus is to reduce aches and pains such as muscle tension and "adhesions", or knots in the muscles.                                                                                     

This pressure is made on purpose as a method of releasing the tension within the muscles in the more "hard to reach" areas of your body.

By applying deeper pressure of friction to give due attention and to focus on the more specific areas that your body needs in order to feel more relaxed and far less strained. They help to loosen your muscles and to release the unwanted toxins, such as lactic acid. It also promotes the blood and oxygen to flow effectively and correctly through your veins, thus promoting a far more efficient and healthy circulation within your body.

Please note: You should try to drink plenty of water after a deep tissue massage to help to maintain the process and to continue to flush unwanted and harmful toxins from your body.

It is best to be aware that deep tissue massage is not a simple method of relieving deep seated aches and pains. Adhesions (knots) in muscles are built up over time, and therefore take time to counteract effectively. A regular program of massage combined with relaxation techniques, advanced advice on ways of moving and posture are a good combination that is advised for solving the problem on a more long term scale.

There is a possibility that deep massages can cause the client slight discomfort either during or after the procedure, but this is advised as being entirely normal. In fact, just like going to the gym, the slight feelings of discomfort can actually be embraced as a sign of healing and can make the client feel empowered and stronger within themselves overall.
