This refers to the manual massage technique for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between the fascia and muscles with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion.
Myofascial release usually involves applying shear compression or tension in various directions, or by skin rolling.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE.
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscle located below the surface of the top muscles. Often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, and are involved in heavy physical activity, and clients that have sustained physical injury. It is not uncommon for recievers of deep tissue massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two.

I
Sometimes confused with pressure point massage, this involves deactivating trigger points that may cause local pain or refer pain and other sensations, such as headaches, or in other parts of the body. Manual pressure, vibration or other treatment is applied to other points to relieve myofascial pain.
MOBILE MASSAGE
Given some of the main benefits, many people prefer to have a therapist come to them to perform the treatment. Amongst other things, this type of treatment has the benefits of allowing the recipient to remain in their own home, with which they are likely to be most comfortable, to avoid the pre and post stresses of traverling to the therapist to receive receive their massage and of course to retire directly to a place of rest immediately following their massage.
Therapist bring can bring a a dedicated table with them on which to perform the massage.
SHIATSU
Shi meaning finger and atsu meaning pressure. It is a Japanese therapy that uses applied pressure with thumbs, fingers and palms to the same energy meridians as accupressure and incorporates stretching.
Consultations can take 45 minutes, whist treatment sessions last 30 minutes. I visit Sandbach and surrounding areas, performing mobile massage services.
