Deep Tissue Massage by Infinity Massage

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.

Why get a Deep Tissue Massage?

It feels good and it is beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

What is the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage?

The purpose is to "unstick" the knotted fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, increasing oxygen and nutrients flow into the muscle fibers while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective, relaxing and therapeutic.

NATURAL FACE LIFT MASSAGE
‘The natural face lift massage aims to treat the client on a physical, emotional and
spiritual level’
Natural face lift massage is a safe, non-invasive healthcare modality. Drawing on ancient Ayurvedic knowledge, energy balancing techniques, specially adapted massage moves, acupressure points and aesthetic principles. Firmly based in tried and trusted bodywork traditions, this revitalising treatment is extraordinary. Natural face lift massage is a unique massage therapy that relaxes your facial and neck muscles, helping your skin to regain its elasticity while encouraging wrinkles and bags to diminish. Performed by a skilled practitioner, the benefits for the recipient are numerous. It is useful to know in advance, that for long-term results, a series of six to eight weekly treatments is recommended. This is because although one session will begin to lessen wrinkles and habitual expression lines, tighten facial contours and improve skin tone, regular sessions have a cumulative effect. As tension in taut facial muscles is released with each session, the techniques used by the natural face lift massage therapist actively promote an improved flow of nutrients to skin cells while stimulating better blood and lymphatic circulation. This helps in the elimination of toxins, creating a fresher, healthier look, and the benefits don’t stop there!
The massage helps to free age-old constrictions in connective tissue and facial muscles, encouraging the connective tissue to glide more smoothly. The result is that under0eye bags and puffiness are reduced, skin elasticity is increased and because the body’s subtle energy is gently balanced throughout the massage, this treatment encourages the recipient’s innate beauty, confidence and inner radiance to shine for everyone to see. A skilled natural face lift massage therapist, together with the co-operation of the client, can generate a glowing look that can last for days. Just like all good complementary health treatments, the lifestyle of the client also plays a major role in getting the very best results.
A natural antidote to ageing stress
For many of us, a busy life with hours spent in front of a computer screen can lead to tired eyes and stress-related symptoms such as headaches, eye-strain and insomnia. The natural face lift massage is excellent for relieving these unwanted by-products of a busy twenty-first century lifestyle. Furthermore, each treatment helps to create brighter, more alert eyes and a face that is truly rested and relaxed. The natural face lift massage offers an original antidote to the ravaging effects of a stressful and less than healthy lifestyle.
A more mobile and youthful appearance
Tension can build up within our facial muscles from the pressures of everyday life without our realising it. It can be easy for certain thoughts and emotions to become habitual, locking themselves into facial expressions sometimes over the duration of a whole lifetime. Under such conditions, muscles can actually ‘dry up’ and contract, inhibiting freedom of expression. This can encourage ageing and the formation of wrinkles, as the face loses its muscle tone and elasticity and begins to sag. Through the simple massage techniques and energy balancing rituals of the natural face lift massage, it’s possible to delay the ageing process thereby giving facial muscles a lift and a new lease of life. Of course, the amazing results can also encourage the client to have a more positive and cheerful outlook on life in general.
How the treatment works
The natural face lift massage therapist works on sections of the face, systematically releasing deep- seated tensions and freeing layers of muscle and connective tissue so that the facial muscles can relax. Microcirculation of blood and lymph is gently restored. The facial tissues glide more smoothly

over the deeper layers of the facial muscles and bones. When the therapist systematically tightens and relaxes the facial muscles during the massage, the entire area is toned up.
The build-up of toxins can sometimes be seen on our faces, making them look saggy, puffy, dull and grey. The natural face lift massage combats these symptoms by including moves, which help the lymphatic system to drain more effectively. The sweeping and concentrated acupressure techniques and precise massage moves encourage improved lymphatic drainage. This in turn helps to remove toxins. Result? The client’s skin regains a healthier appearance and generates a glowing look for days.
The energy balancing processes during the massage stimulates the energy centres around the face. This helps to release blockages in the subtle energy field bringing about emotional and physical releases having a direct effect on the client’s well being.
Client co-operation
Although we all recognise that it’s difficult to stave off the ageing process, we can do much to extend the appearance of youth and beauty by regularly practising facial exercises. A natural face lift massage therapist has a battery of such exercises to offer clients, they are also routinely advised to drink more water. Many lifestyle factors which dehydrate the skin, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, excess salt and sugar intake, lack of sleep, stress, time spent in environments where there’s central heating, air conditioning and traffic pollution, can all be examined with the client. Subtle but significant suggestions to aid changes in habits and lifestyle can be made to help the client to become more aware of the part they can play in the process of facial rejuvenation.
A welcome alternative
There are many other facial lifting procedures on offer today including surgery, muscle relaxants, fillers and chemical peels. Some of these treatments require the use of potentially dangerous substances and carry substantial risks. With all of these invasive procedures, the practitioner must be proficient otherwise irreversible mistakes can and often do happen. Some people may find the risks associated with invasive interventions worthwhile, however painful, risky and expensive the procedure is. Nevertheless, a safe alternative can yield very satisfying results. The natural face life massage stands out from m any other treatments because of its therapeutic and holistic approach. This massage is unique as it needs no products, needles, machines or cumbersome equipment. This helps to keep the cost of the treatment at an affordable level for the therapist and client alike.
The natural face lift massage is a massage par excellence! [It is either carried out dry or with natural, organic substances (Aloe Vera gel and pure Frankincense oil famed for its rejuvenating properties).] This is especially good news for anyone who suffers from allergies to skin care products. The natural face lift massage aims to treat the client on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. This is hardly true of many of the so-called lifting procedures that are available today.
Results that speak for themselves
The result is immediate even after just one treatment, but don’t take my word for it, here’s what a satisfied client had to say in Elle Magazine, “When he showed me the difference after half an hour, the treated side appeared much plumper and my eye looked as if it had a lift. If I saw it on someone else I would suspect foul play – it looks like well applied Botox.” (Elle Magazine, April 2009)
