Deep Tissue Massage
A firm massage, popular with sportspeople, using strong pressure with oils to work deep into the muscles. The pace is usually slower, and the pressure stronger and more targeted.
Each booking is 15 minutes longer than the massage, to welcome you. Deep pressure.
The treatment
Deep tissue massage is an intense massage that works deep into the muscles. It combines sustained pressure with slow movements to focus on areas where tension has built up.
Popular with sportspeople and anyone who enjoys a firm massage, it helps ease out deep muscle tension. The therapist uses their forearms, elbows and knuckles to apply targeted pressure, always adjusted to how it feels for you.
More intense than a classic relaxation massage, deep tissue massage leaves you with a feeling of deep release and lightness.
