Deep tissue and sports massage
Slow, firm pressure into the deeper muscle, for long held tension and hard worked bodies.
Deep tissue massage moves slowly, with firm pressure from the thumbs, forearms and elbows, to reach the muscle under the surface. Sports massage uses the same pressure with stretching, aimed at the muscles you train with.
It can be intense in places, but never more than you can breathe through. Tell your therapist when to ease off. Some soreness the next day is common.
It is a premium session, because it takes more out of the therapist.
