This massage definitely NOT for relaxation; gentle sweeping effleurage is replaced by forearms, elbows and fists – producing dramatic results – and is a great way to release tension long run. There is often some soreness after a session but benefits are worth it! Nico Tailored Therapies specializes in this style of massage therapy. If you’re near central London, check us out!
Deep tissue massage is a style of massage that relieves tension from muscles that are deep under the surface of the top muscles. It requires a lot of strength, skill and attention to release the tightness and tension from the connective tissue (fascia). The successful release of muscular tension enables the body to realign – resulting in better posture etc.
The mark of a good therapist is one that does not need the use of props or other massage ‘tools’ and still produce the required deep tissue massage results.
Regardless of the activities you participate in (such as sports, office work etc.), day-to-day life can cause a build-up of tension. This results in knotted muscles, poor circulation, lactic acid build up, restricted movement, and pain & soreness. Deep Tissue Massage and it’s use of long, smooth strokes stretches out the muscles, releasing knots and tension, removing lactic acid build-up and encouraging the body’s natural circulation. Having regular deep tissue massage can assist in preventing injuries and illness.
Who Would Benefit from Deep Tissue Massage?
Generally, deep tissue massage is used for a specific problem that the client is experiencing. However, in today’s busy lifestyles and work-related stresses, many more people are now turning to regular deep tissue massage treatments in order to maintain their overall health and wellbeing.
If you are a sufferer of chronic back and neck pain, for example; if you have restricted range of movement, or you are subject to over-training in sports, or sit at a desk all day, experience muscle spasms, headaches etc. Deep tissue massage may be for you.
Whether you are an office worker, athlete, gym-junky, full-time mother… this treatment could be for you. If you are in the central London area, visit Nico Tailored Therapies for a free consultation about what we may be able to do for you.
What Kind of Results Might I Expect?
There’s no getting around it, if you find a ‘good’ deep tissue massage therapist, you will most likely experience some discomfort (we like to call it ‘good pain’).
After your session you may experience soreness for a couple of days post treatment.
Many people find their back goes into immediate alignment straight after a deep tissue massage treatment. The same is also true for shoulder-stiffness or soreness, neck pain… many of our clients experience relief immediately after a 30 or 60 minute treatment.
The discomfort or pain from a deep tissue massage is beneficial to your long term health. Thankfully, that soreness or stiffness will generally subside in a day or so. Generally, your body should feel better than ever!
Once you become a ‘Deep Tissue Veteran’ other massages will most likely seem like a waste of time.
