THERAPEUTIC / DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue takes the Swedish massage literally a level “deeper”. After adequately warming up muscle bundles with broad
and superficial strokes, areas of tension are worked slowly, deeply and thoroughly with specific and precise strokes which
follow muscle fibers from their origins to their insertions….
from where they begin to where they end. Deep tissue massage can be uncomfortable, but should never be excruciatingly
painful! Deep tissue work is especially helpful for clients with chronic areas of muscle tension or spasms related to poor
posture, over use, trauma or injury.

different sizes to important points of your body. These stones give deep massage and
create sensations of warmth and comfort.

The heat of the stones also prepares simultaneously the body musculature so that the massage therapist can work into the
deep muscle layers.
