Deep Tissue Massage in Central London – Targeted Treatment for Muscle Tension, Neck Pain & Shoulder Stiffness
Deep Tissue Massage is one of the most effective treatments for chronic muscle tension, neck and shoulder pain, postural discomfort and stress-related tightness.
I work from a quiet private room near Charing Cross and Covent Garden, helping clients release deep tension, restore mobility and feel lighter in their bodies.
This treatment is ideal if you sit at a computer for long hours, train regularly, or experience pain that keeps returning.

What Is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle, fascia and connective tissue.
It works slowly and precisely to release tight areas, break down adhesions and improve circulation in the muscles that feel stiff or overloaded.
This is not a “spa massage” — it’s a focused, therapeutic session designed to correct muscular imbalance and restore natural movement.
Who Is This Treatment For?
Deep Tissue Massage is especially effective for people experiencing:
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Posture-related pain from computer work
- Migraines and tension headaches
- Tight upper back
- Lower back stiffness
- Sciatica-related discomfort
- Restricted mobility
- Muscle fatigue from training
- Stress-related tightness
If you often feel “knots”, heaviness, pressure or pulling sensations, this treatment can help.
What Areas I Typically Work On
Depending on your symptoms, I may focus on:
Neck and shoulders
Upper back and shoulder blades
Lower back and hips
Glutes and hamstrings
Arms and forearms (for desk workers)
Every session is fully tailored to what your body needs most.
How Deep Tissue Massage Works
During the treatment I use:
Slow, deep pressure
Myofascial release
Muscle Energy Techniques (MET)
Trigger point work
Stretching and mobilisation
Deep work on knots and adhesions
These techniques help release long-standing tightness, improve flexibility and reduce pain patterns created by stress or posture.
