Slower, firmer work into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, for the aches that have stopped responding to stretching and rest.
This is the session for pain that has been there for weeks rather than days. Sixty minutes with Metin at £60, or ninety minutes at £90 when there is more than one area to work through. Once you have had a first appointment, a focused thirty minutes is £30.
Who it helps
Deep tissue work reaches the layers a lighter massage leaves alone.
It suits long-standing stiffness, postural strain built up over years at a desk, restricted movement through the back or hips, and the sort of knot you have been pressing with a tennis ball for months without much luck.
Metin works slower here and with more pressure, staying on one area until it lets go rather than covering the whole body. That is why the ninety-minute option exists, because it gives him room to work properly on more than one problem.
Your session
Here is exactly how the appointment runs, so none of it comes as a surprise.
You explain what hurts, when it started and what makes it worse. Metin asks about your training, your job and how you are sleeping, because all of it tends to show up in the same shoulder.
Firm work held on the areas that need it, going deeper as the tissue allows rather than forcing it. Pressure is checked with you as he goes, you stay comfortable and covered throughout, and asking him to ease off is expected rather than awkward.
Stretches and movement advice chosen for your situation, plus honest guidance on how long the area may feel tender and when it is worth coming back.
Deep tissue FAQ
If yours is not answered here, send a message and Metin will come back to you himself.
Sports massage moves around more and works with how you train. Deep tissue stays on fewer areas for longer with more sustained pressure into the deeper layers. If you are unsure which you need, book either one and Metin will steer you in the first ten minutes.
Sixty minutes suits one main problem area. Ninety minutes gives Metin room to work properly on more than one. Once you have had a first appointment, a focused thirty minutes is also available.
Something comfortable. You stay covered throughout, with only the area being worked on uncovered.
The area can feel tender for a while after deeper work. Metin will give you honest guidance on how long to expect that and what helps in the meantime.
Metin will tell you honestly when it is worth coming back, based on how the area responds to the first session.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It’s great to hear you felt brand new after your massage. Always happy to help and looking forward to seeing you again.
Been seeing Metin now for a few years with various issues. Sciatica and groin issues mainly. Regardless to the issue, Metin always knows exactly what to do and finds what’s causing the issue (usually an area away from where I thought) and goes to work on it. Such a relief when I leave and have more flexibility. I’m always given recommendations on exercises that will help my issues which Iv taken on board and slowly getting to a point I can see light at the end of the tunnel If you can handle the pain I recommend the muscle scraping, it really helped me at one stage but wouldn’t do it too often
It's been great to see you over the years, Ben; and thanks for having me back. I'm pleased that the treatments and exercises have helped with your mobility and being able to move pain free. Muscle scraping.... where do I start. This isn't for everyone but is so effective and helps to speed things up allowing you to move better. So well done for getting through it, you're reaping the rewards of it now.
Walked in all stiff walked out like I can dance on the roof tops has definitely helped with my back problems
I'm pleased you had a good result there Neil and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Hopefully I won't be seeing you too soon.
Metin has been looking after my body for several years now and it’s always great to see him. He helps my aches and pains go away in just a session or two and educates me with stretches and exercise to prevent me coming back too soon! Today was a little different where Metin was able to sort my back out half way through the session so he introduced me to some Reiki healing, which I’ve never experienced before. It was powerful and would love to try it again soon. Thank you Metin!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me to help you over the years, Georgie. It’s always a pleasure seeing you and I’m glad you’ve found the treatments, stretches, and exercises useful. I’m really happy you were open to trying Reiki and that you found it powerful! Whenever you’re ready for another session or need any advice, just let me know. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
I cannot praise Metin enough, he is amazing, makes you feel at ease, I have seen Metin 3 times over the last 4 years and each time my problem has been sorted, At the beginning of my massage I could barely move my leg and hip, but by the end of it I was moving more freely and no pain ..he doesnt say you need to go back to him unless you feel you want too ...he is honest ...dont think twice book him..you will not be disappointed ..thank you Metin
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for coming back over the years. It’s always great to see you and I’m really happy the treatment helped get your leg and hip moving freely again. Your trust and feedback means a lot. If you ever need anything or just want some advice, you know where I am.
Highly professional full of help
Hi Tom, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You went through a lot in your session, so well done you! I'm pleased you had a great experience.
