Deep tissue massage is a specific type of massage therapy that concentrates on realigning the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. Our massage therapists use deep finger pressure, and slow, firm strokes to treat a variety of physical ailments.

 

Deep tissue massages are particularly helpful for chronic aches and pains, and for concentrated problem areas, for example shoulders, necks and backs. We offer soothing deep tissue massages from our studio in SW18.

 

What are the Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

 

Deep tissue massages offer both physical and physiological benefits. Whilst many other massages focus on relaxation, deep tissue massages help to treat muscle pain, and help to relieve stiffness. They can be intense, but they do help you unwind mentally too.

 

One 2014 study, involving 59 participants, found that deep tissue massages helped to reduce pain in people who had chronic lower back problems. The authors of the study likened the benefits to those of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen.

 

Other problems deep tissue massages can help with include:

​

• Sports injuries

• Fibromyalgia

• Plantar fasciitis

• Sciatica

• Tennis elbow
