Deep Tissue Massage
£30.00
Deep tissue massage is a highly effective treatment for sports injuries, muscle aches, and pains. This specialised massage technique targets the underlying layers of muscles and connective tissues, aiming to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. By applying firm pressure and slower strokes, deep tissue massage helps to break down scar tissue and adhesions, which can result from injuries or chronic muscle tension. This therapeutic approach not only alleviates pain but also improves flexibility, range of motion, and overall physical performance. Whether you are an athlete recovering from an intense training session or an individual experiencing muscle soreness, deep tissue massage offers a rejuvenating and healing experience. With the expertise of a skilled massage therapist, you can find relief and get back to your peak physical condition. Please be aware that this treatment is subject to a thorough medical consultation and assessment. Muscles need encouragement to relax and 'let go'.

I often get inquiries about Deep Tissue massage, under the misconception that applying more pressure will resolve issues more quickly. However, this is not always accurate.
A deep tissue massage enables a therapist to focus on the inner tissues by using more pressure at a slower rhythm (to prevent causing discomfort to the client). Nonetheless, the muscular system may sometimes tighten up instinctively to shield the body from the pain associated with having the nerves exposed to whatever is causing the discomfort (Guarding), whether it be misalignment, strain, or a medical condition.
In such situations, deeper pressure isn't necessarily the best approach. It’s frequently more advantageous to apply heat (to promote relaxation) or cold (to alleviate swelling) to the affected area while utilising slower, gentler strokes to help the body and muscles understand that it is safe to relax.
As a therapist, I will collaborate with you to achieve the best results in the shortest time possible.
A full body deep tissue massage covers the following areas:
Feet, Calves, Thighs, Glutes, Chest, Lower and Upper Back, Shoulders, Arms, Hands, and Scalp massage.
However, some individuals may not feel at ease having certain areas treated. If that's the case, please inform me, and I will exclude any area you wish from the session and allocate extra time to the other areas.
Regrettably, my time is valuable and fuel costs are high, which means I may have to apply an extra fee for mobile appointments.
This is due to the extra time required for traveling to and from a client's location, along with the additional time needed for setup and breakdown. Its simply not economically viable..
For longer appointments or repeat bookings, I may be able to waive this charge, but there are times when it may not be feasible based on your location. I appreciate your understanding.
NOTE: If you would like to book a mobile appointment, please ensure that you have space for a massage table (about the size of a single bed) and all pets are kept out of the treatment room.
I fully understand how being semi-naked can be somewhat daunting. Please be assured that you will be covered in soft towels during the treatment, with only the area being treated exposed, to uphold your dignity and my professionalism at all times.
I adhere to a strict code of ethics outlined by The Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) of which I pay for annual membership. You can view my membership details here for your peace of mind.
