Deep Tissue Massage Southampton

If this is your first visit to the YOU Massage studio, you will be guided through a new client consultation, so we have your health and well-being history for therapist reference. You will be asked about areas of pain and discomfort and the history of such, this will assure the therapist is working to your needs.

Deep Tissue Massage is typically a lot stronger than other types of massage, there can be discomfort as the therapists work the tense areas, but it can feel enormously satisfying and you will feel much better in a day or two once your body has healed new and more relaxed. The massage works by slowly penetrating layers of muscle and tissue, to reach and relieve Deep Muscular Tension, quite often the cause of chronic pain, poor posture or restricted mobility. Expect a firm, precise Massage with stretching and soothing for the most effective Deep Tissue Massage around and long term relief from Pain and Tension! gradually working Deeper to work away ‘surface tension’ and reach the ‘knots’ or adhesions that lie beneath, often in the back, neck, shoulders, legs, pecs and glutes.

After checking your discomfort and comfort levels, your Massage Therapist will start by warming your muscles using Swedish Massage, they may ask you to perform some movements in order to trace the pattern of tension throughout the body down the trains of fascia and locate ‘problem areas’. Then they will work the areas in order to release them, working gradually deeper and firmer to release deep muscular tension.

No two deep tissue massages are the same, and we encourage you to try different therapists during your relationship with us, but a great relationship with a therapist who knows your body will go so far. Do let them know how you are finding the pressure and they will work with you for optimum comfort.
