It is a type of massage therapy that uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). It’s used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. It is used to break up scar tissue and adhesions within the muscles to promote better range of movement, reduce “knots” and aches as well as restore and improve quality of life. Swedish massages are also available on request.
