Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focusses on the deep layers and fascia of the body. It is helpful for chronic aches and pains, restricted movement, and tense and contracted muscles. If you are suffering from a stiff neck, sore shoulders, tight legs or muscle ‘knots’, then deep tissue massage could be for you!

Deep tissue massage draws on conventional massage techniques, but the pressure is usually deeper, slower and more focussed than in a traditional relaxation massage. It may be restricted to a certain area, such as the back, shoulders and neck, or could be used as part of a full body session.

What should I wear?

Please wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Underwear or swimwear is usually best, so long as it’s not too restrictive and allows access to most of your skin. You will be draped with a towel at all times, with only the parts that we’re working on exposed.
