As the name suggests, a deeper form of bodywork very beneficial for people suffering from extremely tight muscles and with particular areas of tension or injury. Even though the massage is deeper the strokes are performed with care and always with the pain threshold of the recipient in mind. Deeper work can also be relaxing, it is the feeling of Good Pain. The deeper you work in massage the slower the stroke so we always ensure we are working with your needs in mind.
