Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage focuses on muscle tension and can be beneficial for stiffness and muscle pain. We usually focus on specific areas of the body, warming up the tissues and layers of the muscle to allow for (as the name suggests) a deeper level of massage.

The Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage has multiple benefits, especially for those of us who enjoy the active and outdoor lifestyle that Rotorua is famous for.
-
Relieve pain and muscle tension: deep tissue massage can help with persistent muscle pain and tension. It’s especially beneficial for anyone who loves physical activities like mountain biking, running, hiking and sports.
-
Speed up recovery: If you’ve overworked your muscles or are recovering from an injury, deep tissue massage will increase blood flow to targeted areas which can help to speed up your recovery.
-
Increase flexibility and mobility: deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers, helping to release tightness and improve flexibility. This helps you to maintain an active lifestyle and helps to prevent injuries by supporting and enhancing your range of movement and improving muscle tone.
-
Improve your posture: deep tissue massage can release the muscle tension that contributes to bad posture. Regular massage is great for anyone spending a lot of their time at their desk and in front of a screen, or in any static posture for a length of time.
-
Reduce Stress and improve sleep: deep tissue massage activates your body's relaxation response, which helps to reduce stress and anxiety and improve sleep. Taking time out from your busy life to treat yourself to a massage will benefit the whole body and mind. Massage releases oxytocin, and encourages activation of your parasympathetic nervous system - the rest and digest state. This state improves mental focus and clarity, muscle recovery and our natural state of healing.
