Dear Clients,
I wanted to give you an update regarding deep tissue massages. I’ve done a lot recently and, as often happens, my neck, hands and wrists are feeling the strain. Sometimes I forget to prioritise my own body’s well-being and acknowledge my limitations!
If you’re looking for very firm, deep-pressure massage, you may be best suited to a sports or remedial therapist. These therapists are trained to use hands-free techniques, elbows, forearms, and massage tools to safely achieve that depth without overworking their hands.
While I’ve always adapted my therapies to meet your needs, my focus has always been on holistic health and well-being. Deep tissue massage, in its true sense, isn’t meant to be painfully firm—it works by boosting circulation through warming, invigorating movements and stretching techniques to release tension safely and effectively. My hands and wrists aren’t built for consistently applying extreme pressure, so moving forward, my deep tissue treatments will be revised to keep me healthy and able to care for you long-term.
Thank you for your understanding,
Kate
