Deep Tissue Massage

The stresses and strains of modern day-to-day life means it’s common for pain and tension to develop in key areas of the body such as the neck, back, shoulders and hips. Deep tissue massage is one of our most popular massage therapies, and benefits anyone from busy mums to serious athletes.

At BodyMatters Clinic, our highly skilled therapists will use their well-developed sense of touch (called palpation) to feel for areas of tightness, tension, pain and tenderness. They will use deeper pressure to restore normal movement of soft tissues and reduce sensitivity of tender sore areas of your body.

Our therapists may decide to focus on specific areas that they decide (with you), are important problem areas to address (for example the shoulders or back) or treatment may be ‘full body’ to create a more general effect on your musculoskeletal system. Depending upon the pressure required and the area treated, therapists will use their hands, fingers, elbows and knuckles to deliver deeply soothing techniques. Before any treatment your therapist will talk in depth with you about your medical health and any areas and issues that you feel require attention so that treatment can be tailored to you.
