Eileen is my miracle worker! I signed up for an appointment because I sprained my hip and was in a lot of pain. Eileen Carefully and thoroughly inspected the muscles and helped release the tension as well as find the right spot. I still needed longer time to heal because the injury was not minor but I was incredibly happy that together with Eileen we were able to find the source of my pain and an appropriate treatment.

Deep tissue Massage
“You Ignore me now, but you’ll need me later” – Your Body
Being in chronic pain or having any strain or muscle tension can affect the quality of someone’s life.
Is working behind the computer becoming a “pain in the neck”?Is heavy lifting causing your shoulder and back to retain tension? Or is sitting down at your job giving you a “dead butt”?
Deep tissue massage aims to reach the deeper layer of muscles, helping release the tension and breaking up adhesions in the muscle fibres and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage helps to manage your pain, improve stiffness and increase your range of motion.
Relax and soften your muscles
Many people do not realise that relaxation is one of the benefits of deep tissue massage, helping the muscles soften.Softened muscles help the therapist reach the deeper layers without causing discomfort.
Deep tissue massage is usually associated with extreme pressure. Most people describe a good pain(if you feel it, you will know it) over the tension areas. It should NEVER be severe pain.
With communication both at the beginning of your appointment and during your massage, we will work out what level of pressure is best suited to you.

With techniques taken from a deep tissue massage, this massage uses a mix of trigger point therapy to help break up adhesions. The neck, back, and shoulder muscles are warmed, loosened and deeply massaged to release any tension you are holding. We can also massage your head and face with the same techniques.
