Hi Lindsay,

Deep tissue massage is not the same as Swedish massage. Swedish is of course the foundation though.

Deep tissue is a much deeper form of massage using several advanced techniques including soft tissue release on focused areas to release muscular tension. For example, to get deeper and more beneficial pressures sometimes the forearm or the elbow may be used . It is often used as a combination with other massage styles such as sports or remedial massage.

Does this help?

Best wishes

Hello Lindsay
Deep tissue can also be called 'No Hands Massage' - you use the palm of your hand, arms and elbows rather than fingers etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi Lindsay,

There are plenty of colleges around the country that do Remedial Bodywork and Sports Massage.

Check out the website www.sportsmassageassociation.co.uk. I think that has a list of affiliated colleges on it. Some appear to be better than others though so it's a case of shopping around until you find one that suits you.

Good luck!

i did a fantastic 2 day workshop at city and islington in london which covered deep tissue techniques which was excellent value for money and a really good tutor.
- but i know they have had a lot of classes cancelled this term
