What a deep tissue does
Works out tension and soothes aches
Frees up movement
Helps muscles to recover after activity
Why you should try it
The power of this treatment is perfect for working out tension, realigning muscle fibres and speeding up recovery. Therapists' techniques include elbow, fist and forearm work, gradually increasing in pressure.
What happens during your deep tissue massage
We recommend a 90-minute treatment – the perfect length for a full-body deep tissue.
Your therapist will start with a quick consultation to understand any problem areas you want them to focus on. Then they'll begin your treatment, starting with light pressure that slowly gets more powerful. They'll work out knots with their elbows, fists, forearems and knuckles.
It’s normal to feel slightly sore after a deep tissue treatment, but this shouldn't last longer than 72 hours.

It might, but our specialist injury/pain management massage is likely to have better results. It's elivered by therapists who have undergone extra training, and is designed to deal with conditions like frozen shoulder, pinched nerves and lower back pain.
Take at least an hour after your treatment to recover, and drink lots of water. You should be able to carry on as usual after that, though you may feel a little sore for up to 72 hours.
To keep you and your therapist safe, it’s important to hold off on getting a massage if you’re unwell with a fever or flu-like symptoms, or if you have a contagious skin disease. Therapists have the right to cancel your treatment if they think it will harm you or them in any way.
