DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep work can be a pleasant experience!
It ultimately can be delivered without subjecting your client to unnecessary pain or leaving them with bruises or even causing your clients to grit their teeth!
The idea that we need to use the ol’ elbow as the only way to achieve depth is old school thinking. Join Susan and she will take you on a journey that will enable you to deliver a deep massage with ease.
WHAT IS deep tissue massage?
This type of massage should not equate fear in your client, or that pain is a requirement, or even the wearing of bruises as a badge of honour!
It is about a belief in the principle that less is more without compromising depth. Deep work definitely has its place if appropriately applied. Client’s love deep work as long as the therapist can feel the reaction of the tissue and moves accordingly, adjusting both speed and depth to encourage focused and deeper work to take place.
