Repetitive physical activities, like lifting and bending can put strain on muscle groups. Running and jumping constantly has pretty much the same effect. Sometimes even standing still for too long can put certain muscles groups in conflict with each other. And once you've strained or in some other way compromised your deep muscle groups, the effects can stay with you for a long time.

How does deep tissue therapy work?

With chronic tension and/or serious injury, adhesions can form within the deep muscle groups. Adhesions are bands of tight, strained and stretched muscle. These adhesions can limit your movement, cause circulation problems, and are almost always accompanied by some form of pain and discomfort. And chronic pain can lead to other problems as well. In cases such as these, one of the best treatments you can employ is that of deep muscle massage therapy.

At Massaggi, our expertly trained London massage therapists will use deep tissue massage therapy to relax those bands of tense and tight muscles that are causing you so much pain and grief. Our technique focuses on the realignment of muscle groups. This is done with the correct application of pressure in problem areas in connection with using the resistance of friction to relax other trouble areas. Once everything is in its proper place, and not putting strain on the other parts of the body, your overall sense of well being and happiness will improve leaving you feeling refreshed and recharged.

Deep massage muscle therapy is very effective for chronic problems like stiff necks, strained or twisted shoulders muscles, and lower back stiffness or pain. This technique is also especially good at reducing pain and discomfort in instances such as suffering from whiplash, a fall or a sports injury or some other form of injury that put a lot of force and strain where it wasn't supposed to be.

What You Should Expect During a Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

During a Massaggi Deep Tissue MassageTherapy session our trained therapists may use hands, fingertips, knuckles and yes sometimes even elbows, to properly manipulate trouble spots in muscle groups. You may be asked from time to time to take deep breaths, as this is a technique that helps relax you by allowing you to focus on your breathing. This is common in therapeutic sessions, and is very helpful towards the overall result.

After deep tissue massage therapy, you will be relaxed and rejuvenated. With your muscles all in proper alignment, you will find that a lot of your chronic pain and discomfort will disappear. Your overall health will improve, and you will find your strength and coordination improving. Sometimes more than one session is required to achieve optimum results. Here at Massaggi, our comprehensive treatment plan stays with you every step of the way until you can start taking those steps on your own again.
