What is Soft Tissue Therapy
Treatments
Deep Tissue Massage
60min | £ 60.00
90min | £ 80.00
120min | £100.00
​Deep tissue massage is a type of massage technique which uses deep pressure. Combining slow strokes and notable finger pressure, the purpose is to release the tension and tightness held deeply in your muscles and your connective tissues. A deep tissue massage will typically focus on your primary areas of discomfort.
Deep tissue massage reduces stress and tension, which impacts blood pressure. Massage has positive impacts on systolic, diastolic, and arterial blood pressure. The massage can also increase production of serotonin, which promotes good feelings and happiness.
Relaxing Massage
60min | £ 60.00
90min | £ 80.00
120min | £100.00
Relaxation massage consists of gentle to medium pressure to the body, manipulating soft tissues to promote relaxation. The relaxation response is the state of the heart and breathing rates going down. When the body begins to relax stress hormones decrease and muscles relax.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
60min | £ 60.00
90min | £ 85.00
Lymphatic drainage massage is an advanced therapy in which the practitioner uses a range of specialized and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels that carry substances vital to the defence of the body as well as help in the removal of waste products.
Sports Massage
60min | £ 60.00
90min | £ 80.00
120min | £ 100.00
Sports massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of soft tissue to benefit a person engaged in regular physical activity. Soft tissue is connective tissue that has not hardened into bone and cartilage; it includes skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia (a form of connective tissue that lines and unsheathes the other soft tissues). Sports massage is designed to assist in correcting problems and imbalances in soft tissue that are caused from repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The application of sports massage, prior to and after exercise, may enhance performance, aid recovery and prevent injury.
Injuries & Pain Remedial Massage
60min | £ 60.00
90min | £ 80.00
120min | £100.00
Remedial massage supports a faster healing process by improving circulation and breaking down the scar tissue during the healing stage. A massage therapist can also assist your muscles to heal to their full length, so you don’t end up with shortened muscle fibres once the injury heals.
