Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic treatment that uses firm pressure and slow, focused strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is especially effective for relieving chronic tension, breaking down knots (adhesions), and restoring mobility.
At Osteotherapy Lab in Clapham, South London, deep tissue massage is tailored to your specific needs — whether you’re dealing with long-term muscle tightness, recovering from injury, or simply want to release everyday stress.
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Unlike relaxation massage, deep tissue massage works on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia (connective tissue). By applying sustained pressure and slow strokes, it helps to:
- Release muscle tension and stiffness
- Improve scar tissue and adhesions quality
- Improve circulation and oxygen flow
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Restore freedom of movement
It’s a popular choice for people with chronic pain, postural strain, or sports-related tension.
Who Can Benefit from Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage can be helpful for a wide range of people, including:
- Office workers with back, shoulder, or neck tightness from desk-based work
- Active individuals needing recovery after exercise or training
- People with chronic tension or injuries who want longer-lasting relief
- Anyone with stress-related muscle tightness
