Deep Tissue Massage consists of slow, long, deep strokes, combined with targeted pressure on knotted muscles, and some stretches to help release tight or stiff joints. This may involve using the forearm, fist or elbow, rather than just the hands, to give a strong, controlled pressure. It is often very firm, and this may be uncomfortable in particularly sore areas, but it is an incredibly effective way of releasing tension and easing pain. As always, every massage is tailored to you, so don't feel you have to grit your teeth if it's a bit much, the aim is always to work within your comfort zone!
