Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of your muscle tissue.

It aims to release chronic patterns of tension in your body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas.

This could either follow or cross the fibres of your muscles, tendons and fascia

What is Deep Tissue Massage Therapy?

Deep Tissue Massage is the application of firm and deep pressure for the treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, pain and injury management.

Our Approach to Massage Therapy

All of our Massage Therapists at Incline Health hold a Diploma in Remedial Massage Therapy and have extensive experience treating a broad range of injuries and conditions in both clinical and sports environments. Our Massage Therapists understand that each patient’s needs are unique, therefore all treatments include a thorough consultation and assessment, and evidence-based techniques selected and applied in a way that suits the patient.
