Long hours spent at the computer, stress, bad posture, long hours spent driving a car or slumped in a chair, over training at the gym or on the sports field can all cause imbalances within our muscles leading to stiffness, neck and back pain, headaches, spasms. Deep Tissue massage helps to get to the root cause of intense or long-standing, chronic pain. It helps to bring about health and healing by actively involving you in promoting your own health both during and after massage treatment.
Deep Tissue massage is a therapeutic treatment that treats the deeper layers of muscles and trigger points within those muscles. The treatment realigns muscle fibres, breaks up adhesions and is useful for injury rehabilitation. Deep Tissue massage uses firm, deep pressure to alleviate the aches and pains of muscle dysfunction. Muscles are moved, blood circulation stimulated and the accumulated metabolic wastes, or 'toxins', are released and removed from the muscle tissue with the aid of this increase to blood and lymphatic circulation.
To begin with, Deep Tissue massage can hurt and this is especially noticeable in those areas where adhesions and functional imbalances exist and are already causing pain or discomfort. However, this is very much an 'interactive' treatment and it is you who determines your limits of discomfort and therefore how strong the pressure may be. As the treatment releases adhesions and restrictions within the muscles mechanically, a certain amount of pain is unavoidable however. Residual 'soreness' can last up to 3 days and it is normal to experience this following the first two or three treatments.
Deep Tissue massage goes hand in hand with the maintenance of good health and posture by incorporating regular muscle stretches and exercises into your daily life and routine. These stretches and exercises are especially important after physical activity as well as the constant and invariable stresses of the long hours of your work at the computer or behind the wheel of your car. They help to prevent the discomfort from restrictions and dysfunction from recurring.
It is ideal for alleviating chronic pain, particularly back and neck pain, postural problems, frozen shoulder, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), for healing muscle sprains and strains, postural imbalances, headaches, tight muscles, ligament strains, lower back pain, hip pain, hamstring and calf strains, muscle spasms and cramps, sports injuries etc.
