The deep tissue massage is essentially a massage, with considerably firmer pressure being applied using the hands, palms or even the elbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this method, not only are the muscles loosened up, so too is the surrounding connective tissue \u2013 the fasciae. Layers of fascia are often \u2018glued\u2019 together, preventing the muscles from stretching fully, which in turn leads to blockages and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our experienced therapists also perform deep tissue release using various techniques such as stretching and trigger point therapy. The deep tissue massage is an intensive massage, whose firmer movements are perceived by the clients as liberating and beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working on the connective tissue, the fasciae, during this massage provides relief for these ailments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owing to its intensity, the deep tissue massage lends itself particularly well to relieving pain and tension both in the short and longer term. By loosening the connective tissue around the muscles, body mobility improves and the circulatory functions are activated from the inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
