Deep Tissue is in hot demand these days. Over half of our clients at Bamboo Garden Spa request Deep Tissue work, so much so that we require all our therapists at the spa to do Deep Tissue. Learn this new style of Deep Tissue that incorporates a different mind set than past conventional styles that had the "no pain, no gain" theory and actually caused muscles to tighten. Discover the use of advanced techniques to access the deeper layers of muscles, allowing for greater improvements with less work. Emphasis will be on body mechanics and working slower in combination with new techniques. We will also discuss and integrate working with the fascia and how muscle, bone, and fascia work together.
