Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Adhesions can restrict circulation, cause pain, inflammation and limit your body’s mobility. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement.
The massage therapist uses compression and friction techniques along the grain of the muscle.
The purpose of this is to spread the muscles fibres and release both toxins and deeply held tension points.
By spreading muscle fibres, you will also increase the flow of oxygenated blood to the painful areas, which will facilitate with healing.
Deep Tissue Massage is both corrective and therapeutic. It is beneficial for many physical problems, including sports injuries and chronic pain.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release specifically targets the elastic web of connective tissue that surrounds every organ, muscle, nerve and bone in your entire body (the fascia).
The fascia works with the muscles to provide structure to the body and to facilitate movement. Tension within the fascia in one area can have a widespread effect on many other areas of the body.
Releasing that tension with very gentle yet extremely effective techniques can relieve tension and pain and improve mobility, by releasing and lengthening both muscles and fascia.
This technique is extremely slow and gentle, and it can often feel like nothing is happening. The real benefit can be felt in the few days following the treatment.
Note also that when long held tension is released, it is not uncommon for trapped emotions to be released during the treatment. Your therapist will assist you to work through this if it occurs during the session.
The treatment can usually be carried out fully clothed or used in conjunction with another therapy, such as therapeutic.
