Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is aimed at relieving tension in the deeper layers of muscle and fascia (connective tissue surrounding muscles). It is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries.
Due to the nature of this bodywork, open communication during the session is crucial to ensure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after treatment, and plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins released during the session.
Trigger Point Therapy/Deep Tissue

Trigger points are formed in soft tissues due to overuse, injury, an imbalance or post-surgery. They are tender areas of tension that occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These knots are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental or emotional stress. During a session, to alleviate pain the isolated pressure and a variety of techniques are applied utilizing the therapists thumbs or specific trigger pointing tools. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
