During a deep tissue massage, a firmer pressure is used and more specific attention is paid to muscle knots or trigger points.
- First, during an initial consultation, your therapist does a postural analysis and asks about any muscles that require special attention.
- Deep tissue is usually an oil massage focusing on the deeper muscle layers.
- Once you are ready, your therapist begins by warming your muscles with light compressions.
- Then the therapist uses a combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, and regularly checks to ensure that the pressure is firm enough.
- As trigger points are located, direct pressure is applied to release the knots.
- After the massage, you have the option to dress or to use one of our luxury showers.
- Ending your session with complimentary refreshments.
If you have specific muscles or trigger points that need individual attention, a deep tissue massage can help ease tension, and relieve chronic pain.
