Remedial Massage / Deep Tissue Massage aims to release chronic patterns of tension in the body, through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas.
Deep finger pressure is applied at certain points to reduce tension, increase circulation and offer pain relief for many complaints, and remove energy blockages to promote good health.
The teacher then prompts the students to take deep breaths while also gently massaging the pressure point between their thumb and pointer finger, switching hands every 30 seconds.
