What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Compared with Swedish massage or relaxation massage, a deep tissue massage is a slower, stronger manipulation of problem areas. It allows the inner layers of muscles and connective tissue to be worked upon and for rigid and scar tissue to be broken down.
The Technique
This massage technique uses a combination of fingertips, palms, knuckles, forearms and elbows. Deep pressure is applied along the length of muscle fibers (this is called stripping) and pressure is applied to the the grain of your muscle to break down adhesion (the “knots” that we feel) and align tissue fibres.
What to expect
Before your treatment, we listen to your massage needs and concerns, discuss any information regarding your health history and give you the opportunity to ask
During your massage we engage in a regular dialogue to better understand your pain threshold and balance the “pain-pleasure” experience.
You’re given time and private space to undress. Your level of undress is always your decision and should be based upon your comfort levels. Blankets and towels are provided and used to cover areas that aren’t being massaged. If, for any reason, you’d prefer to avoid particular parts of your body being exposed, you just need to let us know.
We tailor every massage to your personal needs. This involves planning in advance and also at times implementing various techniques such as Trigger Point therapy* and breathing exercises.
*Trigger Point therapy identifies the area of muscle spasm or tension, which is often located in the belly of the muscle then applying a constant pressure followed by slow release.
During the first part of your massage, your muscles are always warmed up and prepared with light touch methods. This is followed by stripping and friction techniques to break down “knots” and adhesion. These techniques use a combination of kneading and stroking, with varying degrees of pressure.
We will review progress with you at the beginning and end of every session.
Did you know?
A deep tissue massage should never be ‘sore’. Some degree of discomfort is sometimes necessary to break down stubborn tension and scar tissue but it should never be unbearable.
