Tattva Wellness Spa, Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic bodywork technique designed to address deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. This massage is known for its intensity and is particularly effective for relieving chronic muscle tension and knots. Here are the key details about the techniques and benefits of the Deep Tissue Massage offered at Tattva Spa:

Techniques:

Deep Pressure: The therapist uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deep layers of muscle tissue. This helps in releasing muscle tension and breaking up adhesions (knots) that can cause pain and restrict movement.
Friction: The therapist may use friction techniques to create heat and improve blood flow in areas of tension.
Stripping: This technique involves using the elbow, forearm, or thumbs to apply pressure along the muscle fibres. It’s highly effective for releasing trigger points and chronic muscle tension.
Stretching: Gentle stretching is incorporated to improve flexibility and range of motions can be especially beneficial for individuals with tight or stiff muscles.
