90 minute deep-tissue massage

Service Description

Feeling tight and sore in places? Choosing several key areas to focus on, your tight muscles will recieve a good warm up and some deep pressure to release built up tension. Contrary to popular belief, deep-tissue massage does not need to be extremely painful to be effective. Instead, we establish a pressure scale and communicate to find the optimal ‘good-pain’ pressure for your body. You may like to try myofascial release to start the session, to more effectively melt through long-held tension in your connective tissue due to postural imballances or old injuries. You may also combine deep-tissue with relaxation massage, and with 90 minutes available there is enough time to receive some foot reflexology and/or a luxurious head massage, to receive a real rest for your body and mind. Your choice of anti-inflammatory balms or a personal aromatherapy blend designed to soothe and release physical and mental tension. Within the scope of my wellness massage practice, deep-tissue massage is not aimed at treating injuries, therefore if you are in need of rehabilitaton I would refer you to see a remedial massage therapist or a physiotherapist.
