DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

A deep tissue massage is a full body massage that borrows heavily from Swedish massage techniques but employs deep pressure and slow movements to treat muscles and connective tissues (known as fascia) below the surface muscle layers.

In a deep tissue massage your therapist will seek out knots and areas of chronic tension in the muscle. They will spend time focusing on releasing the tension in these areas using specific, dedicated deep pressure techniques.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage will help to reduce spasms and scar tissue resulting from chronic injury or overuse. It will release tension, reduce muscle tightness and help treat chronic pain. This works by addressing the tightness and tension and reducing inflammation from stressed muscles in the affected areas. Another benefit of a deep tissue massage is a general increase in blood circulation and lymphatic flow. This helps increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to your system and also helps to accelerate the removal of cellular waste products and toxins.
