Deep Tissue Massage Therapy in Nottingham
I provide deep massage suited to people who prefer a treatment that feels substantial, purposeful and is responsive to what your body actually needs.
If you've been disappointed with massages that have felt too light and generic, or the therapist hasn’t properly listened to you, you may prefer my approach.
Over 20 years experience providing substantial purposeful deep massage.
I pay attention to your instinctive understanding of what your body requires, responding by adapting the treatment as we go. Firm massage doesn't mean unnecessarily painful. The aim is to provide a massage that you can actually feel working, while remaining responsive to your feedback in the moment, informing my expertise and experience.
Regular Maintenance
You don't need to wait until something is troublesome before having a massage. Some people come for a specific problem, while others have regular treatments to manage muscular tension and maintain the way they prefer their body to function and feel. Over time, we will get to know your body and the areas that tend to need the most attention.
Benefits of Massage Therapy.
If your body generally aches, your muscles feel tight or movement seems restricted, a good quality massage treatment will be of huge benefit to you, not only physically but also mentally.
Your soft tissues will feel revived and able to work again. Any specific injuries or particularly problematic muscles can be targeted, bringing you back to fully functioning condition.
Specialist Techniques
Trigger Point Deactivation
An active trigger point in a muscle causes pain when pressed, which can be felt (referred) elsewhere in the body.
Muscle Energy Technique
The patient activates a stretched muscle while being restricted by the therapist, resulting in an opportunity to increase range.
Myofascial Release
Fascia is the substance that wraps and connects all tissues in the body and can form sore adhesions with muscles. These can be released through skilled therapeutic manipulation.
PNF
Assisted stretching while inhibiting the nervous systems sense of limitation. The patient alternates resisted contractions with the therapist gradually increasing range.
