Deep tissue massage 120mins
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on applying firm pressure and slow strokes to target the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia in the body. Unlike relaxation or Swedish massage, which primarily aim to promote relaxation and improve circulation, deep tissue massage is specifically designed to address chronic muscle tension, knots, and areas of pain or discomfort.
The primary goal of deep tissue massage is to release muscle adhesions or “knots” that can form due to overuse, injury, or prolonged muscle tension. These adhesions can restrict movement and cause pain, and the massage therapist uses focused pressure and friction to break them down, promoting better circulation and easing muscle tension.
During the massage, the therapist may use their fingers, hands, elbows, or forearms to apply pressure and work on specific areas of tension.
