Deep tissue massage
Massages have always been used as a relaxant, to de-stress the body and relieve tight muscles from aches and pains. A relatively new method of massage that is becoming popular as an alternative to prescription medicines is deep tissue massage.
Deep tissue massage provides relief from chronic muscle issues and problems relating to connective tissue. As these massages are penetrating deeper to the core of muscles, the movements associated with a deep massage are usually slower and more pressured than an ordinary massage. This is to re-align the deep muscles which are causing the problem.
The patient can experience some pain while undergoing a deep tissue massage, as not only are the fingers used, but the masseuse will use their elbows, palms and knuckles to manipulate pressure on the muscle, hard enough to have an effect.
It’s not suitable for pregnant women or those recovering from surgery. Nor should it be done if the patient has any bruising or unhealed wounds close to the area that requires treatment. Prior to booking your deep tissue massage, always seek professional medical advice from either a doctor qualified masseuse.
