Deep tissue massage at Hemel Massage, combines classic swedish massage moves with deeper , slower techniques more concentrated on areas affected by tension and pain. The deep tissue massage reaches the deeper muscles and the connective tissue surrounding the muscles.

Deep tissue massage is especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and tight  areas such as stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.

Deep tissue massage for sports people

Fantastic for sports people to ease off tired aching muscles, deep tissue massage helps with training and injury prevention, muscle realignment and posture imbalances.

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down adhesions and knots to relieve pain and restore normal movement keeping you active and able to do the sports you love.

I’ve heard deep tissue massage can be painful.

At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. However, at Hemel Massage we believe that the muscles should be relaxed to gain maximum benefit from the massage and so it is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range.

There might well be some aching or stiffness  after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so.
