Deep Tissue Massage
About Deep Tissue Massage
Do you experience chronic pain or have an injury? A deep tissue massage may help alleviate your pain.
A deep tissue massage is similar to a Swedish Massage but it focuses on the inner layers of your muscle. A deep tissue massage alleviates chronic pain and injury, while a Swedish massage promotes relaxation and reduces muscle tension from everyday activities. Both involve the use of hands and fingers to massage the muscles and tissues, but forearms may be used in a deep tissue massage to provide additional pressure.
How Does It Work?
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that involves applying pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the deeper layers of your muscles and connective tissues. Deep tissue massage can help break up scar tissue that results from injury. Slow, deep strokes and finger pressure helps reduce tension in the muscles and connective tissues.
Compared to other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massages focus on reducing tension, pain, and stiffness.
