A deep tissue massage is designed to relieve pain and reduce muscle tension with the end goal of helping the body relax.

 

A deep tissue massage is beneficial as it reaches the deeper muscle fibres releasing pressure from the surrounding areas such as, fascia, ligaments and tendons.

 

As this massage can be tailored to an individual the deepness of the strokes can be lighter or heavier.

​

A sports massage is very similar as it works deeper into the muscles but it can be more tailored to a specific athlete or training regime.
