Deep tissue massage for pain relief
Deep Tissue Massage ! Have you had aches and pains for a while and tried physio and osteopath? I have lots of clients that have gone down that route and it has not helped. I cant promise miracles but often clients need a strong massage to release the tensions that have built up in the muscles.
Some of the techniques used in Deep Tissue Massage are the same as those in a classic/relaxation massage but the strokes are slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.
Come and try this treatment it really works. Costs £35 for 1 hour, bookings can be made online www.chilloutdorset.com
I do not cater for naturists or perverts. This is a professiona massage service. Im a member of the guild of beauty therapist and fully qualified.
How does deep tissue massage work?
When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles.
Will deep tissue massage hurt?
At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort or pain. This is normal, but 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 is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage.
What conditions is deep tissue massage used for?
Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:
• Chronic pain
• Limited mobility
• Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
• Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
• Postural problems
• Osteoarthritis pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Muscle tension or spasm
People often notice improved range of motion immediately after a deep tissue massage.
What can I expect during my visit?
Massage therapists may use fingertips, knuckles, hands, elbows, and forearms during the deep tissue massage. You may be asked to breathe deeply as the massage therapist works on certain tense areas.
It is important to drink plenty of water as you can after the massage to flush metabolic waste from the tissues.
