Deep Tissue Massage

When it comes to deep tissue massage, the term “deep” refers to the pressure applied rather than the actual depth reached within the body.

Deep tissue massage targets muscles and soft tissues, offering a more intense experience than what you’d find at a typical day spa. It involves spending extra time on areas of tightness and may include trigger point therapy to alleviate pain.Soft tissue massage, on the other hand, focuses on treating the body’s soft tissues, which are the same ones addressed in deep tissue massage. Both modalities employ similar techniques, making them essentially interchangeable.

Both deep tissue and soft tissue massages are customized to your specific needs, preferences, and desired pressure level. Whether you’re seeking relief from muscle tension and pain or simply want to relax and improve your mood, we tailor the session to meet your goals.

In essence, whether you’re looking for a massage that delves deep into muscle tissue or a lighter session to release tension and promote relaxation, we adjust the treatment to suit your preferences. After all, this is your time to prioritize your well-being and indulge in the experience you desire.

Is this the same as Relax Massage?

In short, if you’re seeking a day spa ambiance with the soothing sounds of waterfalls and birds chirping, this might not be the ideal spot for you. However, don’t let that deter you, as our treatments still offer significant stress reduction benefits.

Additionally, our hot stone massage provides exceptional relaxation, albeit in a slightly different environment.

But if you’re after an exceptional massage experience, especially if you’re local to Healesville, Seville, or Ferntree Gully, you’re in the right place!

Our massages are tailored to alleviate tightness, pain, stress, and discomfort, ensuring you leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

The Pressure We Use

We 100% understand that pressure during massage treatment is individual preference. Accordingly, we take great care to tailor your treatment to what you want. On our history form filled out before your first session we ask about the pressure you generally like from massage treatments.

Your therapist will also check in about the pressure they are applying several times throughout your session. Above all, they understand this is your session, and your time and can alter the treatment to be firmer or softer at any times.

Generally, the best way to think of our typical session would be more of a soft tissue massage or a deep tissue massage. We’re trying to make some physical and physiological changes within your body – not just rub some scented oil into your skin.

Finally, don’t be intimidated by the word deep tissue, these treatments are tailored to your wants and needs. Find out more about it below.

If one of these doesn’t match what you are suffering, please reach out. Call us and if no therapist is available at that time, we’ll have one call you to have a one on one chat to see if it’s something we can help with.
