Headaches? Migraines? Stress? Back pain? Knee pain? Sore muscles? Stiffness? Chronic tiredness? Deep tissue remedial massage can help! * What is deep tissue remedial massage? A deep tissue massage is exactly what it sounds like. The massage therapist will first identify areas of the body in which there is tension, and then using various techniques, will first work to remove the tension in the surface areas of the muscles. The therapist will then go deeper and deeper into the muscle to isolate and remove the true source of the tension. * Who needs deep tissue massage? Almost everyone carries tension somewhere in their bodies. This massage can help anyone with problems, from stress through simple niggles or injuries, to chronic muscle and joint pain. * How much will it cost? This is a full body massage in which one should ideally invest one-and-a-half hours. The normal cost is �70 but if you cite this advertisement, I will offer you the massage for �50.
