Deep tissue massage is used for muscle tension, pain, posture RSI’s and sports men and women. It helps to keep muscles supple and flexible and to eliminate toxins and waste products.

Deep tissue massage focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is likely that you will be treating many clients who are suffering with chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as painful shoulders, neck, upper & lower back, Tight IT bands, quads and hamstrings.
