You work hard, you tolerate stress, you are using your body for all its worth, and now it’s starting to catch up with you.
You deserve it. Resetting your mind, relaxing your muscles, and pressing ‘refresh’ on unhealthy habits, this service is centered on putting you first. From combatting pains, enhancing mobility, and relieving stress to getting a head-start on injury prevention, there’s no treatment quite like this.
WHAT IS A DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE?
Deep tissue massages combine the best of modern massaging techniques, applying firm finger pressure, slow strokes, and continuous stimulation to your deepest musculoskeletal layers. While that may sound like a mouthful, this service comes down to 3 words: we delve deep. Targeting chronic pains, deep-set aches, and niggling injuries, we’ll use a range of methods to rejuvenate the deepest layers of muscle and fascia.
Aiding relaxation, relieving myofascial adhesions, enhancing circulation, and alleviating tension, this service will help your trigger points complete a U-turn, away from your declining posture and rising scar tissue. While Swedish massages approach the body’s superficial layers, our deep tissue sports massages target the heart of the problem: the muscles and connective tissue.
WHO ARE DEEP TISSUE MASSAGES FOR?
Well… you. For the times when Swedish massages don’t quite hit the mark, this treatment is designed to offer intense relief from within. Reversing the tell-tale signs of those less-than-desirable habits, from spending hours hunched over your laptop to pinning your chin to your chest as you scroll through your Instagram feed, deep tissue massages are built for all, whether you’re a high-performance athlete or looking for a helping hand expanding your mobility range.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER A DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE?
Put simply, you can expect to step into new realms of relief, waving goodbye to tension, muscle knots, and tightness as you go. Having stimulated the sympathetic nervous system, secreting, endorphins, relaxing muscles, and releasing nerve blockages, you can look forward to a long-lasting sense of ‘zen’.
Your treated areas may be tender to touch until the inflammation subsides, but we recommend the golden after-care trio to fast-track your recovery – water to flush out the released toxins, hearty food to deliver the right nutrients to your muscles, and plenty of sleep to aid muscle recovery.
DO DEEP TISSUE MASSAGES HURT?
When asked, our clients almost universally respond with the same word: Intense. Deep tissue massages are often described as a ‘good’ pain, as discomfort is relieved, pain is alleviated, and tension slowly vacates the area. Designed to target deep into the fascial system – the connective tissue that surrounds organs, muscles, tendons, and bones – this service is centered on the body’s most tender areas, meaning slight discomfort walks hand-in-hand. To relax knots, ease stiffness, and break down scar tissue, we must target the depths of the muscles. Thank us later.
