Deep tissue massage in Bath

Deep tissue massage helps unlock your body. It works with the muscles and tendons which hold posture and enable activity.

Where there is limited mobility we might use more pressure combined with manipulation and stretches to increase the range of movement. The focus is often on the underlying (deep) muscles involved in body use.

Consider deep tissue massage if
  • You are having difficulty with everyday activities
  • Your neck and shoulders are stiff and sore from computer use
  • Your hips are aching from sitting or driving
  • You have lower back pain
  • You find it difficult to maintain good posture
  • You’ve tried stretching and movement but it doesn’t seem to help
  • The strength and range of movement in the affected area is decreasing
Our deep tissue massage is effective because:
  • We listen and take an intelligent approach
  • We gauge the right pressure for maximum benefit
  • We notice to how your body responds and fine-tune the treatment
  • We give each affected muscle your the time it needs to release
  • We look at the wider picture

Deep tissue massage is directed where it is needed. The aim is to reduce any pain and increase freedom and mobility.

Why deep tissue?

Tension in muscles restricts movement and can lead to recurring aches or sharp pains. Aches usually build up over a period of time due to a repeated everyday action or posture. Damage to the soft tissue can cause pain and swelling. We work carefully around pain – finding ways to ease the tension that causes it without inflaming the problem.

Sitting at a desk or laptop and driving can all put the body into a strain position which is held for a long period with no opportunity for the muscles to recover. Massage can help get your muscles into better condition so better posture becomes easier.
