Deep Tissue Massage

A typical session lasts between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on specific needs and areas to be treated, to ensure maximum effectiveness.

It's advisable to drink plenty of water before and after the massage to help eliminate released toxins. Wear comfortable clothes and try to relax before the session.

This type of massage is not recommended for people suffering from certain conditions, such as active inflammatory diseases, certain forms of cancer, or infectious skin diseases.

Although the massage can reach very tight areas and cause some discomfort, it is not painful. Our therapists are trained to adjust their technique to your comfort level.

Deep-tissue massage specifically targets the areas where muscular tensions and knots are lodged. 

Although it can be applied to the whole body, the treatment often focuses on areas particularly prone to accumulating stress, such as the back, shoulders, neck, legs and hips. 

Depending on your specific needs and areas of pain or stiffness, the therapist may also work on other areas to promote complete relaxation and improved mobility.

Determining whether to opt for a deep tissue massage or a Swedish massage depends on your specific health goals and comfort preferences:

Deep Tissue Massage

• Purpose: Suited for relieving severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. It's particularly effective for individuals who experience consistent pain or are involved in heavy physical activity.
• Technique: This massage uses slower, more forceful strokes to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, helping to release knots and reduce muscle stiffness.
• Benefits: It's great for recovery from injuries and chronic pain management, offering relief from conditions like lower back pain and stiff neck.

Swedish Massage

• Purpose: Designed primarily for full-body relaxation and gentle tension relief.
• Technique: Employs a combination of kneading, long strokes, deep circular movements, tapping, and vibration to soothe the body.
• Benefits: Ideal for improving circulation, easing muscle strain, and boosting overall energy and well-being.

Each massage type serves different purposes and delivers distinct benefits. Your selection should align with your wellness goals, whether it's to unwind and relax or to address specific pain points and muscle recovery.
