Some tension just does not respond to a gentle touch. If you have been carrying the same ache in your shoulders for months, or your lower back tightens up no matter how much you stretch, this treatment is likely what your body actually needs.
Experienced therapists understand how to work with the body rather than against it. A slow, firm pressure is used to reach the muscle layers that sit beneath the surface, where chronic tension tends to build up and hold on. It is not about applying brute force. It is about knowing exactly where to work and how to get there without causing unnecessary discomfort.
The core techniques used by your therapist may use include:
- Slow Stripping - Deep, gliding pressure applied along the length of the muscle fibres
- Friction - Pressure applied across the grain of the muscle to break down adhesions
- Trigger Point Therapy - Focused pressure held on specific knots to encourage release
- Myofascial Release - Sustained, gentle pressure to free up the connective tissue around muscles
- Deep Effleurage - Firm, flowing strokes used to warm the tissue before deeper work begins
If you have never had this treatment before, it is worth knowing that some areas may feel tender during treatment, particularly where tension has been sitting for a long time. This is completely normal and typically gives way to a noticeable sense of relief both during and after the session.
