Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage used slow strokes and firm pressure to realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue and to relieve chronic muscle tension or injury. Benefits include:
- Pain relief from injured or scarred tissues
- Release of toxins that the tissues may be holding
- Promotes reduction of chronic muscle pain
There are several different forms of deep tissue massage, so what will happen during each treatment will vary according to your needs. Most will start with lighter pressure and move slowly into the deeper gliding and friction. It must be done this way because, if deep pressure is applied immediately, the muscles will automatically tighten for protection.
Most deep tissue massages also end with a series stretches that help reset the muscles into a relaxed state.
