What distinguishes this approach from that of a strong pressure massage, which involves a global understanding of the body, is the fact that the deep tissue massage focuses on one or two targeted areas. “The strong pressure massage will provide a strong and constant pressure throughout the massage,“ explains Arnaud Gaston, our Care and Optimization Director. “As for the deep tissue massage, there will not necessarily be a strong pressure, but simply slow maneuvers that allow the muscles to relax in order to access the deeper tissues.” This massage is most beneficial for those struggling with stiffness or back pain due to stress, physical activity or repetitive movements. Its aim is to restore mobility to the musculoskeletal system.
