30 minutes £45 | 60 minutes £70 | 90 minutes £100
Swedish massage is the most popular type of massage and most-known type of bodywork performed today. Its primary goal is to relax the entire body by rubbing and kneading the soft tissues such as first layers of muscles, tendons and ligaments. This is done by using light pressure with long gliding strokes along the direction of blood returning to the heart.
Whilst having some of the same benefits as the Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage is very effective in releasing chronic muscle tension.The treatment focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascias (the protective layer around muscles), bones and joints.
Unlike Swedish massage, that uses light pressure, Deep Tissue massage is done using deep pressure with strokes that are firm and slow.
Deep tissue massage has several therapeutic effects and can be used to treat different musculoskeletal issues. It is ideal for the treatment of major muscle groups like the neck or lower back. This technique can also be used to relieve strain and treat injuries in the joints and tendons.
