Massage
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutically focused massage working on the deeper layers of muscle tissues in the body. Deep tissue massage is a feature of many styles of massage and is usually characterised by slower, deeper strokes undertaken with firmer pressure, sometimes localised on particular areas which are sore or stiff.
The aim of deep tissue massage is not merely relaxation, although that may be an outcome. Rather, deep tissue massage addresses muscle pain, tension, tendon or muscle injury and is useful for increasing blood flow and oxygen flow around your body.
Sanctuary masseurs are highly experienced and very careful about the therapeutic focus of their work. Deep tissue massage is only conducted if appropriate and will always begin in a gentle fashion until you are able to withstand greater intensity.
Testimonials
“….I was amazed at the ease of my detox and withdrawal from alcohol at the Sanctuary. I had previously been to numerous detox centres and clinics in Australia and abroad but the Sanctuary’s holistic approach combining both Eastern and Western therapies clearly leads the field. I recommend your approach wholeheartedly as I’ve had fewer side effects and less anxiety and all the staff helped to make me feel more comfortable and positive. I’ve been given a second chance and I know now alcohol will no longer play a part in my new life..” CM 42 years old
