Deep Tissue (sports)

Although our physios, osteopath and acupuncturists can treat a wide variety of musculo-skeletal problems, many people simply require some deep tissue massage to relieve tension and pain.

Deep tissue massage specifically targets muscles for sports or activities, or areas such as the back and neck, to reduce tension and knots that can occur through posture, work and exercise. It is the first choice massage for men, who generally need much more work to relieve stresses, and for anyone requiring a deeper massage to relieve tension on muscles, rather than the gentle, soothing swedish massage.

Deep tissue massage can be incorporated into training programs reduce injuries and improve performance. In addition to the common problems areas, suc has back and neck massages, our team can focus on particular muscle groups, such as the quads or hamstrings, or focus on particular parts, such as legs and feet.

We are very happy to provide a half hour appointment for this type of massage, but we do recommend taking a full hour. If you feel you need a deep, strong massage the chances are you will get more benefit from a longer massage, rather than a short, intense one.

Deep tissue massage is available at the Leigham Practice six days a week with several late evenings.
