Deep Tissue

 

What is deep tissue massage (DTM)?
DTM is a highly beneficial physical therapy
which looks specifically at the muscles and their related structures. By working steadily and progressively the therapist will be able to identify:
 

• The root cause of any pain.

• Areas of the body that are ‘stuck’ and won’t move freely.

• Structures that are misaligned.

• Specific muscle knots and trigger points.

• Linked areas of pain, tension and stress that will keep a problem going unless this is also addressed.

• Referred pain pathways.

Therapy techniques include: Trigger Point therapy, myofascial therapy, MANIPULATION, flowing pressure techniques, stretching, resistance work and nerve and tissue release work.

 

What a treatment involves

A session is typically one hour long. There will be an opportunity to discuss specific issues or concerns, and identify the key problems that need to be addressed. We will then carry out the treatment and afterwards plan your aftercare and follow-up.
