What it is
Deep tissue massage uses slower strokes and firmer, more concentrated pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Rather than gliding over the whole body, your therapist works methodically through the areas that hold the most tension.
It's the treatment travellers ask for after long-haul flights, heavy training or months hunched over a desk — anywhere tightness has settled in and simply won't let go.
The benefits
Releases knots
Sustained pressure works through adhesions and tight bands so the muscle can lengthen and let go.
Eases back & neck
Targets the exact areas where posture and travel leave you stiff — the lower back, shoulders and neck.
Improves mobility
Freeing up tight tissue restores range of movement, so you move more easily afterwards.
Supports recovery
Firm work encourages blood flow to worked muscles, a welcome reset after sport or a busy week.
Relieves tension
Concentrated pressure calms the overworked muscles that quietly cause everyday discomfort.
Lasting relief
Because the work reaches the deeper layers, the ease you feel tends to hold for longer.

Deep tissue or relaxing — which should I choose?
