Deep Tissue Massage in Dumfries

From £50, at my studio on Bank Street, Dumfries

Some knots don't respond to a gentle massage. Deep tissue work uses slower, firmer pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle where chronic tension sits. It's the treatment I recommend when you can point at exactly where it hurts.

We'll talk first about where the trouble is, and I'll focus my time there rather than rushing the whole body. Firm doesn't mean brutal. I build up to the deeper pressure gradually and check in with you as I go. You might feel a little tender the next day, the way you do after good exercise, and then noticeably looser.

Who it helps most

• Stubborn knots in one area
• Long-standing shoulder and back tension
• Aches from heavy or repetitive work
• People who find ordinary massage too light
