Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is very similar to Swedish Massage, but its aim is to target deeper layers of muscles. To reach those deeper structures harder pressure is required. Therefore I will use my thumbs, knuckles, forearms, and elbows.
Hard pressure doesn't mean pain!
My aim is to find the perfect balance. Pressure that will be strong enough to give 'good pain' and sense of relief, but not too strong to cause discomfort, or pain that is hard to bare.
It's not true that the harder the massage the better it works.
