Deep tissue massage is used in treating chronic muscular tension through direct deep-seated pressure and slow strokes, applying across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. The pressure should be firm enough for you to feel benefit, but not extreme discomfort. Please inform your therapist if the pressure isn’t to your liking. Call us on 0800 774 7307 for advice on the best course or treatment for you if you are unsure which massage is right for you.
If you want a relaxing and professional deep tissue massage in Croydon, Medical Massage Detox is a great choice.
Deep tissue massage helps treat tight muscles and pain. It focuses on deeper layers of muscle and tissue. This type of massage is good for stiff necks, sore shoulders, and lower back pain.
It is similar to a Swedish or therapeutic massage, but the pressure is deeper and slower. This helps reach painful spots more directly.

She was friendly, professional and made me feel completely at ease throughout. Michelle took the time to explain everything clearly and gave me sound, personalised advice on my diet and the possible root cause of my bloating. She followed up with me after, which I really appreciated. Since applying her dietary guidance post-treatment, I’ve seen a significant reduction in my bloating. I feel lighter, more comfortable and more in tune with my gut. Thanks Michelle!🩷 Overall, it was a supportive, informative and genuinely transformative experience for my gut health. Highly recommend!

Michelle warmly greeted me for my first ever Colon massage😬.Michelle put me at ease and explained the process thoroughly, especially the pressure to cleanse the colon and I watched it being cleansed. Afterwards, Michelle provided a probiotic drink and electrolytes and sent through post treatment advice. I have ordered the recommended probiotics. My colon is not tender more.
