Deep tissue massage is slow, deep massage techniques focused on areas of pain and tension with the intent of re-aligning muscles and connective tissue/fascia. We explore the pattern of tension and pain to find what is causing the issue with the goal of correcting the imbalance and restoring normal function. We use myofascial techniques to achieve deep and lasting changes in the muscles and fascial systems. Deep tissue massage is a part of our   for pain, injury and limited mobility.

Deep Tissue Massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia.  It  uses many of the same movements and techniques as lighter styles eg Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots. 

At Finesse we offer a range of different types of Massage therapy. Sports Massage, pre and post event, is important for both the treatment and prevention of soft tissue injury in the physically active. Deep Tissue Massage is used to relieve severe tension in the muscles and connective tissue. The focus is on the muscles located underneath the top muscles. It is often recommended for individuals experiencing severe pain, athletes and those who have sustained injury.  Pregnancy Massage uses soothing oils to relax and support a woman during her pregnancy. Regular massages will benefit circulation, reduce swelling, improve respiration, reduce shoulder tension and relieve musculo-skeletal pain, particularly in the back and pelvic area. Regular treatments throughout the pregnancy have shown to help promote a successful labour and lead to more effective post-natal recovery. Orthopaedic Massage is a style of massage influenced by Chinese Medicine. It relies on applying gentle pressure to the body in a gentle and soothing motion. It can be received with clothes on, and it works very well on freeing up injured or tense muscles by gently breaking down blockages, scar tissue and/or adhesions.

Deep Tissue Massage is used to help relieve pain from stiff & tired muscles, and keep them in peak condition.
