Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep  tissue massage  is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Using specific strokes and aromatherapy oils, a deep  tissue massage  is both powerful and vigorous to get to the deeper layers of muscle tissue. The patient receiving the deep  tissue massage  may have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two but will leave you feeling better than ever after a few days. ? Deep  tissue massage  usually focuses on a specific problem, such as: ? Chronic pain Limited mobility Recovery from injuries Repetitive strain injury Postural problems Osteoarthritis pain Muscle tension or spasm ? Please note: ? ? Some people should not receive a deep  tissue massage. Anyone who has had recent surgery should avoid this type of therapy unless a physician has recommended it. Those with open wounds and skin infections should also avoid deep  tissue massage. This prevents wounds from getting worse and reduces the risk of spreading infection. If you were in a motor vehicle accident or involved in any type of physical trauma, consult your doctor about whether a deep  tissue massage  would be harmful or beneficial to you.

The shoulder is the area of the body where most clients will complain of tension. There is a theory that stress in stored in the trapezius muscle, which as the name suggests is the trapezium shaped muscle that extends from the neck at the base of the head, out to the shoulders and down to the middle of the upper back. Massage in this area of the body eases tension, addresses neck pain or injury including whiplash as well as headaches that may be caused by trapped blood vessels. Also promotes a general feeling of relaxation.

Normally at the first session with a client, this includes a questionnaire geared towards understanding a clients medical and soft tissue history, lifestyle and work habits, postural and biomechanical analysis, including range of motion tests and palpation (which is an initial assessment by touch of clients soft tissue behaviour). All the information gathered from the questionnaire and tests will go towards understanding a clients problem, what may be causing it and how best to address it. From this, a treatment plan is drawn. While this plan aims to be as thorough as possible, it is not set in stone and changes may be made as the treatment progresses to address subsequent findings and accommodate clients lifestyle activity and response to treatment. This process is the reason why a clients first session will normally last an hour and a half including an initial treatment. It could be more if the client has a long injury history.

Massage using various techniques able to reach the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to further enhance relaxation or address injury where necessary.
