Deep Tissue Massage: Find Lasting Relief from Chronic Pain & Muscle Tension
Experience a deep tissue therapeutic massage in London that goes beyond relaxation, targeting the root cause of your discomfort. Alphonsus uses advanced deep tissue techniques to release chronic knots, break down scar tissue, and restore your body’s natural movement.
What is a Deep Tissue Massage? Beyond the Surface
Deep tissue massage is a specialized therapeutic technique focused on the deeper layers of your muscles and connective tissue (fascia). Unlike lighter massage styles, Alphonsus uses firm, slow strokes and deep pressure to release chronic muscle tension and break up the rigid, fibrous adhesions (scar tissue) that cause pain, restrict movement, and lead to poor posture.
This treatment is not just about pressure; it's about precision. Alphonsus targets specific problem areas to create lasting, positive change in your body.

Alphonsus is an extraordinary talent. He first massaged me when lockdown regulations allowed for it, in 2020, a deep tissue massage, and I clearly remember it being one of those rare moments in Covid when I felt like myself again.
