Deep tissue massage is a form of massage that focuses on releasing the deep myofascial restrictions in the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body.  This can be used as a stand alone treatment for you or in some cases a combination with Acupuncture.  

 

This massage works on the superficial connective tissue aiming to break up old structural patterns and allowing oxygen, nutrients and blood to flow freely.  It involves applying a considerable amount of pressure, which in some cases can cause discomfort however jenny will always work within your comfort zone. 

 

The massage movements used will aim to release chronic muscle tension through slow and deep strokes, with more direct pressure or friction to release these tensions.  Restrictions, stiffness or knotted and painful areas will be detected to determine how much pressure is required.  

 

Unlike Swedish/classic massage therapy, which is generally used for relaxation, this technique will focus on and treat specific problems. This is a very popular treatment and increasingly requested,  due to their effectiveness the deeper and more advanced techniques in treating a host of specific issues, the most prevalent being back and shoulder pain.
