Service Description

Deep Tissue Massage uses firm, sometimes isolated pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). It's used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. While some of the strokes may feel the same as those used in Swedish Massage therapy, deep tissue massage isn't the same as having a regular massage with deep pressure. Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to specific points on the feet and hands to influence the health of corresponding parts of the body. "Pressure sensors" on the hands and feet connect with different parts of the body, and as reflexology techniques stimulate these sensors, waves of relaxation are sent throughout the body.
