Deep Tissue Massage

What is a Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue is a therapeutic massage therapy that is often used for those who are struggling with chronic pain, connective tissue, and helps reduce muscle tension. Often the deep tissue massage techniques involves applying sustained pressure.

Compared to other regular massage techniques like a Swedish massage, deep tissue massage therapy is often a little more intense. It’s not for those with a low pain threshold.

A massage therapist may use their forearms, elbows, knuckles as well as their hands so to break up adhesions and help muscle soreness. This isn’t a massage session built for people who are pregnant or sensitive as there is a lot of firm pressure applied.

For example, you might have stiff neck pain, chronic back pain, arthritis symptoms, high blood pressure, or overall tense muscles across the entire body. Deep tissue massage works to realign the different layers of tissue, treating the tendons, as well as the muscles to release tension, any lingering soreness, sports injuries, help with reducing inflammation, and other psychological benefits.

Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage

Pain relief

There are numerous benefits from the massage table. And if you’re living with a sports injury, living with plantar fasciitis, are on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, blood clots, or have a chronic condition such as sciatica or fibromyalgia, deep tissue massage can bring relief.

Improved flexibility

Massage therapists use deep strokes to also improve the range of movement in tight muscles, allowing for better performance and safer workouts.

Relaxation

To let your body relax, massage is a wonder. Like other techniques, deep tissue massage offers your body feel-good hormones like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins ensuring you feel relaxed.

Break up scar tissues

Deep tissue sessions are used as physical therapy for those who suffer from large or notable scars. This is because this massage technique will release the tension created by the scar, working fascia loose and promoting greater flexibility in the area.
