Deep-Tissue Massage
Hello, people of Sandy, we're just down the road in Bedford.
Deep Tissue In Massage Sandy
The Body Sage Clinic is just a short drive from Sandy and specialises in deep-tissue massage therapy. Deep-tissue massage is a term used to describe most forms of firm, deep-pressure massage therapy. Many different types of massage can be considered deep-tissue (including sports massage), and the techniques and intended outcomes can vary greatly between styles.
The Body Sage Clinic offers a range of therapy options that include deep-tissue massage techniques. For general aches and pains or more complex muscular problems, we recommend our Injury Therapy appointment, which we designed specifically to treat these types of physical issues.
If you’re particularly sporty, we offer Sports Performance Therapy sessions. These sessions were designed specifically for problems that highly active people might suffer from but are maybe not considered injuries.
FAQs
Still have questions? Call us for a quick chat.
What is a deep-tissue massage?
Any firm-pressure massage can be considered a deep tissue massage. It focuses on reaching deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to release tension, improve movement, and reduce pain.
Why don’t you offer a specific deep-tissue massage for relaxation?
Deep tissue work is designed more for therapy than for pure relaxation. Our Sports Massage can certainly be relaxing, but it’s best suited for easing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing performance rather than unwinding.
Why is deep-tissue massage such a commonly used phrase if it's not an actual style of massage?
It’s a familiar term for anyone who wants a firmer massage but doesn’t necessarily see themselves as “sporty.” We use it to help people easily choose between treatments that focus on pain relief or performance – whichever fits best.
What other forms of deep-tissue massage are there?
There are many styles that use deep-tissue techniques, including Thai, Turkish, Indonesian, and Chinese Tuina massage. Even a firm Swedish massage can be considered deep tissue if it targets the deeper muscle layers.
What deep-tissue massage options do you offer?
Our Injury Therapy and Sports Performance Therapy sessions both include deep-tissue techniques, primarily drawn from Sports Massage and other advanced therapeutic methods.
Does deep-tissue massage hurt?
It shouldn’t be painful, but you may feel firm pressure or mild soreness during or after your treatment – especially if your muscles are tight. Your therapist will always check in and work within your comfort level.
How will I feel after a deep-tissue massage?
Most people feel looser, lighter, and more mobile. You might experience a bit of stiffness for a day or so as your muscles recover – that’s completely normal. Staying hydrated and moving gently will help ease any soreness.
How often should I have a deep-tissue massage?
It depends on your goals. For maintenance, every 4-6 weeks works well. For ongoing pain or injury recovery, your therapist may suggest a short course of sessions closer together.
What should I do after a deep-tissue massage?
Drink plenty of water, avoid heavy exercise for the rest of the day, and listen to your body. A warm shower or gentle stretching can also help your muscles settle and recover comfortably.
Who shouldn't have a deep-tissue massage?
Deep tissue work isn’t suitable for everyone. Please let us know if you’ve had any recent injuries, health conditions, or if you’re pregnant – we’ll advise you on the safest and most suitable treatment for you.
