Deep Tissue is a deeper style of massage aimed at releasing tension, aligning muscle fibers, as well as lengthening and releasing tight muscles.
Deep tissue is an invigorating massage technique that works all areas of the body where there is tension.

Will it hurt?

Your therapist will work within your pain threshold to ensure you are not tense throughout the treatment. If you have any concerns, just let your therapist know.

All of our massage therapists are able to tailor your massage to suit your own individual needs, as well as giving you the relevant advice.

How long will it be until I feel the results of a DT Massage? 

It’s important to be realistic about what a deep tissue massage can achieve for you. It can take time to release tension from muscles, especially if the problem is chronic or long term. This is best achieved with an integrated program of massage or osteopathy coupled with appropriate exercise and or stretching techniques.

Jess has trained in Holistic Massage, Indian Head Massage, Reiki I and II and is a Reiki Master, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Spiritual Healing and Deep Tissue work.

For Jess the initial pert of each treatment is essential to dvelop a relationship with the patient and understand what it is that they need. With every treatment Jess aims to take her patient to a place of deep relaxation and peace and at the same time loosen their muscles and so release tension. If needed Jess uses the healing power of colour to focus energy into stagnant areas and help the patient relax.

Jess was inspired by treatment that she had received over the years – the profound effect they had on her is what made her want to learn and share with others.

Jess is a member of Independent Professional Therapists International.
