Deep tissue massage

Some people can get put off by the term Deep Tissue thinking that it simply means a “hard” massage, but this is not always the case. Deep tissue work done effectively and with intention can be a rewarding experience , the therapist works  with the muscle tissue sinking through the various layers at the body’s own pace allowing for a deeper release of constricted and tight muscles. Can be compared to Remedial Massage in many ways. Although the treatment itself can be relaxing you might be expected to interact during the treatment, changing body positions and moving joints and muscles in order to effect a release. This is an excellent treatment for releasing patterns of chronic tension throughout the body, which arise from poor posture and long periods in front of the computer.
