When these problems are present, there are often adhesions (knots - tight bands of painful and rigid tissue) in the muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Adhesions/knots can cause pain and inflammation, limit movement, block circulation and aggravate the surrounding muscular systems.

Deep tissue massage focuses on relieving pain and restoring normal movement, by breaking down these knots using trigger point therapy, allowing the muscle to return to normal function.

​

I use advanced massage techniques that are very slow and deep strokes, with direct pressure or friction applied on the muscles.  If restricted, knotty or painful areas are detected, then I can use trigger point therapy to release those areas, relieving pain and tension.

​

Deep tissue massage works most effectively when experienced as a course of treatments.

​

I will take you through a consultation and a posture assessment to help me identify specific areas that are causing pain and tension and that require treatment.

​

Deep tissue massage can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, including:

​

• Trapped nerves (eg. Sciatica, Piriformis Syndrome)

• Chronic pain

• Shoulder and neck pain

• Repetitive strain injury (eg. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)

• Muscle tension (eg. glutes, hamstrings, IT band, legs, upper back)

• Injury recovery (eg. whiplash)

• Headaches

• Fibromyalgia

• Tennis Elbow, Frozen Shoulder, Runners Knee etc.

• Plus much more!
