Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal problems, such as strains and tension. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues.
Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massage focuses on treating muscular pain and reducing stiffness.
Deep tissue massage can aid recovery, relieve pain, and improve range of motion while also increasing blood flow, which can help promote faster healing and reduce inflammation.
During a deep tissue massage session, you will have a consultation to find out about your problem areas, work may be on your entire body or focused on specific points. Techniques used are deep kneading and stroking with varying amounts of intense pressure to address your issues.
It is essential to communicate with your therapist about your comfort level during the session. It is possible that some soreness may be felt after a deep tissue massage, which is normal.
