Modern life puts constant strain on our bodies. Whether it’s hours at a desk, repetitive movements, emotional stress, or intense physical activity, muscle tension and postural fatigue can quietly accumulate – until they become pain.
At Viva Health Clinics Ashford, we offer Soft and Deep Tissue Massage as a clinically backed solution to relieve pain, support your recovery, and restore your natural vitality.
What Is Soft and Deep Tissue Massage?
This treatment focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia, using sustained pressure and slow strokes to target areas of chronic tension. Unlike a general relaxation massage, this technique addresses:
- Muscular adhesions (“knots”)
- Reduced range of motion
- Persistent tightness due to stress, sports, or sedentary habits
It’s ideal for people with long-standing tension or musculoskeletal discomfort who want not just to feel better, but to move better.
What Can It Help With?
Soft and Deep Tissue Massage may be recommended for people experiencing:
- Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
- Limited mobility or poor posture
- Tension headaches linked to muscular tightness
- Recovery after intense physical activity or injury
- Generalised fatigue or stiffness from long hours seated or standing
“Many patients come in feeling stiff and drained – and leave feeling free, lighter, and more mobile. That’s the power of working with the body, not against it.”
— Dr. Daniel, Osteopath & Co-Founder
A Clinically Guided Experience
What sets us apart is that our massage therapists work in close collaboration with our osteopaths and physiotherapists. That means your massage is never generic – it’s fully integrated into your personal care plan, where needed.
We begin with a brief consultation to assess:
- Your medical history
- Current symptoms and physical condition
- Personal goals (relaxation, recovery, long-term prevention)
We then tailor the session using techniques supported by clinical practice, always ensuring your comfort and safety.
What to Expect During a Session
Each treatment typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes, and may include:
- Slow, deep strokes applied across muscle fibres
- Trigger point therapy to release specific tight spots
- Passive stretching to lengthen tight muscles and fascia
- Post-session recommendations to prolong benefits (hydration, mobility exercises)
You may feel some soreness after the first session – especially if you’ve carried tension for a long time – but this typically subsides within 24–48 hours, leaving space for relief, balance and renewed energy.
