Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach the deeper layers of the muscle and fascia. It is generally used for chronic tightness and it can break down scar tissue, knots and adhesions that could be causing pain, tightness, limited range of movement and decreased circulation. Lighter pressure will be used first to warm up muscles and superficial layers before specific techniques are applied.
Deep tissue massage can give you a tender/bruised feeling for up to 1-3 days after the massage, much like a post exercise soreness and will need more than 2-4 treatment to give lasting benefit.
It is our belief that correct treatment requires an accurate diagnosis. The commencement of treatment to an injury without knowing the diagnosis goes against our ideals.
To enable the best form of treatment available, we utilise the services of a wide variety of like-minded health professionals with a special interest in sports medicine.
It is vitally important that you are actively involved in the decision making about your own care.
We are very keen to avoid doing anything to people that would cause harm. Whilst some treatments will have inherent risks, there are other treatments where the risk is unacceptable and will not be offered.
