Deep Tissue Massage (IASTM)
Overview
Deep Tissue Massage using Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is an advanced therapy technique designed to release deep-seated muscle tension and improve soft tissue function. By combining hands-on skills with specialised instruments, this treatment targets restricted muscles, fascia, and scar tissue more precisely than traditional massage.
How It Helps
• Breaks down tight muscle fibres and fascial restrictions
• Improves mobility and flexibility
• Reduces chronic muscle tension and stiffness
• Supports recovery from repetitive strain and overuse
• Enhances blood flow and tissue healing
Ideal For
• Individuals with long-standing muscle tightness
• People recovering from sports or work-related strain
• Those with limited range of motion
• Athletes requiring deeper muscular work
• Clients who have not found relief with light massage
What to Expect
Your therapist will assess the affected areas and use specialised stainless-steel tools along with manual techniques to target tight or restricted tissues. The pressure is controlled and purposeful, focused on restoring normal movement. Mild soreness can occur after treatment, which is a normal response and typically settles within 24–48 hours.
