The truth behind those strong thumbs and magic elbows
When you’re lying on the massage table enjoying a blissful deep tissue massage at Phuket Thai Massage Glasgow, you might wonder: “How on earth do therapists keep this up without collapsing in a heap afterwards?” Spoiler alert: it’s not easy—but it’s not impossible either!
The Gym You Didn’t Know About
Deep tissue massage is basically a workout disguised as work. Therapists push, press, and lean with elbows, forearms, and sometimes their whole body weight. Forget bicep curls—this is strength training with human muscles as resistance!
Luckily, professional therapists know how to save their hands by using clever body mechanics. Think of it less as brute force and more as a graceful dance…with occasional grunting behind the scenes.
Not Just Muscles, But Mindset
It’s not only the body that’s working hard—the brain is too. Therapists must tune in to every knot, every twitch, and every “ouch, that’s too much!” signal. It’s part puzzle-solving, part stress-busting, and part “how do I make this human feel amazing in 60 minutes?”
The Secret Weapons
At Phuket Thai Massage Glasgow, our therapists have a few tricks:
- Elbows of steel (don’t worry, we use them gently).
- Core strength worthy of a yoga instructor.
- The patience of a saint, because tight shoulders don’t loosen themselves.
So… Is It a Hard Job?
Absolutely. Deep tissue massage can be tough on the body, but for our team it’s also incredibly rewarding. Nothing beats the moment a client stands up, stretches, and says: “Wow, I feel like a new person!”
