What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that involves realigning of deeper layer muscles. It is used for chronic pain and aches and contracted areas such as a stiff neck, low back pain, sore shoulders, and leg muscle tightness.

Strokes used are similar to those used in classic massage therapy only that the movement is slower and pressure concentrated on areas of pain and tension in order to get to the sub-layers of muscle and fascia.

How does Deep Tissue Massage Work?

In case of chronic muscle injury or tension, there may be adhesion’s in tendons, muscle and ligaments. Adhesion’s can interfere with circulation, leading to pain, limited movement, and inflammation.

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down those adhesion’s to relieve pain and restore normal movements. To achieve this, the massage therapist uses massage oil and direct deep pressure. For therapist to reach the deeper musculature, the muscle must be well relaxed.

What things can be helped with Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage therapy usually focuses on a specific problem such as chronic muscle pain, injury rehabilitation, and the following conditions:

Limited movement

What to expect during your Deep Tissue Massage?
