Deep tissue massage in Torquay

Deep tissue massage is a firm, targeted style of massage that works with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. At Surfcoast Massage in Torquay, treatment is tailored to areas of persistent tightness, muscular tension and restriction, rather than simply applying heavy pressure across the whole body. Your therapist adjusts the techniques and pressure to suit your body, focusing on the muscles and areas that need attention.

Benefits of deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage uses firm, targeted techniques to work with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Depending on your individual needs, benefits may include:

  • Easing persistent muscular tension and tightness
  • Working with deeper areas of muscle restriction
  • Reducing muscular stiffness and discomfort
  • Improving flexibility and range of movement
  • Addressing tension associated with repetitive movement
  • Supporting recovery from physical activity and everyday strain
  • Helping improve comfortable, unrestricted movement

Is a deep tissue massage painful?

No, but it may be slightly more uncomfortable than a remedial massage or therapeutic massage. Be sure to let Lisa, your deep tissue massage therapist, know if the pressure is too much. It’s very important to drink plenty of water after a deep tissue massage to help flush lactic acid out of the tissues to prevent soreness the following day. Any soreness you do experience following a deep tissue massage will pass within a day or so. Patients often describe this as ‘good pain’ and results often produce longer lasting relief of pain and discomfort.
