There are over 200 different types of massage techniques and types, all treating different needs and providing various benefits. Sports Massage is a form of deep tissue massage which applies deep pressure to the muscles, focusing on specific trouble points. When you have knotted muscles, want something a bit deeper than a traditional massage or have more specific ailments, more attentive techniques such as deep tissue massage are required. I am always conscious that the massage you receive needs to be right for you, so it is very important to always speak up and let me know if you need the pressure to be adjusted, (i.e. if you need me to lighten up because it is too deep, or to apply more because it is not deep enough). Most people need more pressure in some areas and less in others.
