Firm, controlled pressure and precise techniques target knots, ease postural aches and improve mobility, while you remain comfortable and supported throughout. ## What's Included Your massage is tailored to your goals on the day. - Personal consultation to map areas of tension and discuss comfort levels. - Focused deep pressure with slow strokes, trigger point work and myofascial techniques. - Attention to priority areas such as neck, shoulders, back, hips or legs. - Professional draping for comfort and privacy, with ongoing check‑ins about pressure. - Skin‑friendly oil or balm to support glide and reduce friction. - Optional gentle stretching and breathing cues to enhance release. - Personalised aftercare and simple at‑home tips to maintain results. ### Who It's For If you carry tension from desk work, commuting, training or daily responsibilities, this treatment is designed to help. It is well suited to tight neck and shoulders, a stiff lower back, hip tightness or lingering muscle knots. Choose this option if you prefer a calm, results‑led treatment over pampering. Expect focused work that respects your comfort while addressing the areas that need it most. ### Duration & Appointment Timing Sessions are available in focused or extended formats, depending on how many areas you would like to address. Your first visit includes time for consultation so pressure and techniques can be tailored to you. For best results, book a time when you can rest and hydrate afterwards. If you have a specific event or training cycle, mention it so the intensity can be paced appropriately. ### Aftercare & Maintenance Drink water after your massage to support recovery. Mild tenderness can occur for up to 48 hours; gentle movement, a warm shower or bath and light stretching usually help. Avoid intense exercise and very hot baths for the rest of the day. To maintain progress, many clients find regular sessions every 3 to 6 weeks helpful, with closer spacing for acute issues and longer intervals for maintenance.

Deep tissue should feel firm and purposeful, not painful. You may feel an intense, releasing sensation as knots ease, and mild soreness the next day is normal. We adjust pressure throughout so you stay comfortable. How is deep tissue different from a Swedish massage? Deep tissue uses slower, sustained pressure to reach deeper layers and resolve specific restrictions. Swedish massage is lighter and rhythmical for general relaxation. Choose deep tissue for targeted relief and improved mobility. What should I wear and how do I prepare? Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewellery. You will be professionally draped at all times and can keep underwear on; we use oil or balm on the skin. Hydrate before and after, and avoid heavy meals immediately beforehand. How soon will I notice results and how many sessions will I need? Many clients feel looser straight after, with further improvement over 24 to 48 hours. Long‑standing tension may benefit from a short series, then maintenance as needed. We will agree a plan that fits your goals and schedule. Is deep tissue safe during pregnancy or with health conditions? Deep tissue is not suitable in the first trimester and may be adapted later in pregnancy. Always tell us about medical conditions, injuries or medications. If you have recent surgery, infections, clotting disorders or uncontrolled hypertension, seek medical advice first.
