Deep Tissue Massage At Hackney Podiatry & Health
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.
How does it work?
When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, the body often develops adhesions – bands of painful, rigid tissue, sometimes known as ‘knots.’ 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.
What can it help with?
- Chronic pain
- Limited mobility
- Recovery from injuries
- Repetitive strain injury, such as carpel tunnel syndrome
- Postural Problems
- Ostearthritis pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle tension or spasm
What happens during a treatment?
Massage therapists may use their fingertips, knuckles, hands, elbows, and forearms. You may be asked to breathe deeply as the massage therapist works on certain tense areas. It is important to drink plenty of water after the massage to flush metabolic waste from the tissues. Our practitioners working in the heart of Hackney offer expert deep tissue massage.
