Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutically focused massage working on the deeper layers of muscle tissues in the body. Deep tissue massage is a feature of many styles of massage and is usually characterised by slower, deeper strokes undertaken with firmer pressure, sometimes localised on particular areas which are sore or stiff.
The aim of deep tissue massage is not merely relaxation, although that may be an outcome. Rather, deep tissue massage addresses muscle pain, tension, tendon or muscle injury and is useful for increasing blood flow and oxygen flow around your body.
Sanctuary masseurs are highly experienced and very careful about the therapeutic focus of their work. Deep tissue massage is only conducted if appropriate and will always begin in a gentle fashion until you are able to withstand greater intensity. |
