Deep tissue massage is now available at Revitalise
in Brighton & hove 7 days a week. Deep tissue massage
focuses on the different layers of tissue (muscle, tendons
and fascia), working to relax, lengthen, and release
strain patterns within them, so that the body's posture
can realign itself.
Physical and emotional traumas can tighten and stiffen
these tissues. When this happens, the body moves out
of a state of natural alignment and loses its flexibility
and gravitational balance.
Working deeply does not necessarily mean applying lots
of pressure. A light touch can also effect the body/mind
very deeply. The techniques used in deep tissue massage
are also applied more slowly; this is to avoid causing
the recipient any pain when working deeply into the
muscle and connective tissue as well as allowing the
nervous system to intergrate the work.
A treatment does not usually involve working on the
whole body, but focuses on particular areas of the body
which are presenting patterns of strain. So the whole
treatment might focus on the legs and pelvis, shoulder
girdle or neck, depending on where the strain patterns
are evident. Releasing these areas of strain will have
effects throughout the body. |
