Deep tissue massage is very similar to remedial massage and it’s now available in our beautiful wellness centre in the heart of Cooroy.
These particular types of massage treatments target the deeper layers of muscle and surrounding connective tissues and can assist with a range of conditions and pains.
While a deep tissue massage usually involves massaging all areas of the body, when it focuses on areas that are particularly problematic, it’s referred to as a remedial massage or treatment.
Because the purpose of a deep tissue massage is to break up muscle tension, adhesions and scar tissue that often lie in deeper musculature – and requires a significant amount of pressure to be applied – it’s normal for you to feel a small amount of discomfort during the treatment.
You will be encouraged to let the therapist know if this becomes too uncomfortable for you – please speak up. Discomfort is different to pain and we don’t want this to be a painful experience for you.
Most people have deep tissue massage to help alleviate a particular problem, such as:
- Chronic muscle pain
- Injury rehabilitation and athletic recovery
- Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Osteoarthritis
- Postural difficulties
- Tennis elbow
- Sciatica
- Limited mobility
- Lower back pain
- Breaking up scar tissue
The two main aims of deep tissue or remedial massage are:
- to ease the discomfort and pain associated with these issues
- to increase your body’s capacity to heal itself
Choose from a 60-minute or 90-minute massage.
