Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but is used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension.  We conduct our deep tissue massage in our training facility located in Burleigh Heads. Other benefits include reducing inflammation and helping to eliminate scar tissue from injury and or surgery. 

The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia. Deep tissue massage uses strokes across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain as in Swedish massage.  The more intense movements and techniques such as deep finger pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days, before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief. It is important that you drink approximately 2 litres of water per day to assist in the benefits of deep tissue massage.
