Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage in Kempston

The Body Sage Clinic in Bedford specialises in deep-tissue massage. Deep-tissue massage is a general term used to describe any form of firm massage therapy that penetrates beyond the layers of skin and into the muscles. There are many different types of massage therapy that can be described as deep-tissue treatment (including sports massage) and the techniques used can vary from clinic to clinic.

Frequently asked questions

Do you use any other forms of massage therapy besides sports massage?
Yes. We also use Chinese Tui Na, Dry Cupping Therapy, Myofascial Cupping Therapy, and on occasion a little bit of Gua Sha. If there’s a technique that works for a particular purpose we’ll use it for that purpose.

What conditions does deep-tissue massage treat?
There are way too many conditions to list, but if something hurts or just isn’t working properly, then we can probably treat it. If we can’t, we’ll tell you what you need to know and/or refer you accordingly.

I’ve had a deep tissue massage from a Swedish Massage Therapist in the past, how is what you do any different?
Swedish massage can be great for relaxing as it focuses on the largest sensory organ in the human body – the skin. Sports massage and Swedish massage may share some similar techniques, but on a deep level are very different treatments.

Do you do full body massage?
No. A full-body deep tissue treatment takes a couple of hours to do properly and is exhausting for the therapist and client! In our experience, shorter targeted treatments are more effective.

What other forms of deep-tissue massage are there?
Many traditional ethnic forms of massage can be considered as deep tissue, although many do utilise a deep stretching component. The most common ones would be things like Thai massage, Turkish massage, Shiatsu, and Chinese Tu Na.

I’m confused as to what sort of massage I require, how do I know what to choose?
If you’re unsure what type of treatment you need, give us a call, we’re happy to give advice!
