Deep Tissue Massage

What is a Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is for people who have specific problem areas in their body that require an experienced massage therapist to help. Unlike other massage therapies like Swedish massage, deep tissue massage involves a good deal of pressure to reach the underlying layers of muscle tissue and fascia to target knots caused by stress, injury, or movement.

During your massage in Brighton, sustained pressure is applied during slow, deep strokes to target problem areas. This breaks up scar tissue that forms following an injury.

FAQs

Who is deep tissue massage for?

People who benefit most from deep tissue massage are those who suffer from chronic pain, muscle tension, sports-related injuries, or who simply prefer a firmer touch during their massage.

What should I wear to my deep tissue massage?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing. Most clients undress to their comfort level and are covered with a sheet or towel during the session.

How do I prepare for a deep tissue massage?

Make sure you stay hydrated before and after the massage and avoid eating a heavy meal before your session.

Is it painful?

Although some discomfort is normal when targeting deep knots, it shouldn’t be unbearably painful. Communicate with your therapist and adjust the pressure if necessary.

What should I do after a deep tissue massage?

Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage, rest if needed, and apply ice or heat to any areas that feel particularly sore. Gentle stretching can also help maintain the benefits of the massage.
