Whilst deep tissue massages can help clients unwind, they are primarily performed to treat sports injuries, scar tissue build-up, knots, as well as muscle and chronic pain.

 

This particular massage therapy involves the whole body; however, if during your consultation with Sydney Body Envy you wish us to pay extra attention to particular problems area this can be accommodated.

​

Deep Tissue Massage Benefits:

• Alleviate pain

• Improve blood flow

• Break down​ scar tissue

• Toxin release

• Hormone redistribution:

  • inhibit cortisol production and enhance dopamine release​​

​

Deep Tissue Massage Techniques:

• Stripping: this involves the use of knuckles, thumbs, elbows and forearms to massage along your muscle fibres. With a combination of slow and sustained pressure, knots and problem areas are identified and targeted. 

• Friction: otherwise known as, cross-fibre massaging, this technique goes 'against the grain' of your muscle fibres to break up knots, release adhesion and allow muscles to realign in a healthy manner. Friction can be more uncomfortable than other techniques, so Sydney Body Envy ensures they work with every client to find the best solution.

• Trigger Point: by identifying trigger points in specific areas of the body, knuckles, thumbs, or elbows are used to deliver concentrated pressure to the tissue underneath. Whilst it's not uncommon for discomfort to be felt, once the pressure is released relief can be felt immediately.
