The oil version of deep tissue massage is a general full body massage that offers a strong and intense treatment. The massage is designed to soothingly release the deeper layers of tense muscle tissue. It is both relaxing and firm.
The pressure is stronger than the regular or typical sports massage as other than fingers, thumbs and palms, the massage therapist also uses more forearm, elbow, and sometimes knees to help relieve deeply ingrained tension.
However, the pressure is not as strong as the Deep Tissue Thai Massage (performed on a mat with no oil while wearing special Thai clothing), as this massage is performed on a table with oil on the body. A sarong drapes over areas that are not being worked on.
This massage is ideal for those who desire a strong massage, but with the soothing feeling of oil on the body. There is minimal stretching with this deep tissue oil massage.
So if you’re suffering from muscle pain and stiffness in the shoulder, back, lumbar region, hips, legs, this strong deep tissue oil massage may give you relief.
