DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

A Deep Tissue massage is a type of massage that uses sustained pressure to manipulate the deeper layers of muscle tissue and connective tissue. It is a more vigorous massage than other types of massage, such as Swedish massage, and can be somewhat painful, but it is often effective in relieving chronic muscle pain and tightness.

Deep Tissue massage is often used to treat:

  • Muscle pain: Deep Tissue massage can help to break up scar tissue and adhesions that can cause muscle pain. It can also help to improve circulation and range of motion.
  • Chronic pain: Deep Tissue massage can be helpful for people with chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia and chronic back pain.
  • Sports injuries: Deep Tissue massage can help to speed up recovery from sports injuries by breaking up scar tissue and adhesions and improving circulation.
  • Stress: Deep Tissue massage can help to reduce stress and tension by releasing endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.

During a Deep Tissue massage, our massage therapist will use their hands, forearms, or elbows to apply sustained pressure to the muscles. They may use a variety of techniques, such as kneading, friction, and compression. The pressure of the massage will vary depending on the individual's tolerance for pain.

Deep Tissue massage is not for everyone. If you have any health conditions, such as osteoporosis or bleeding disorders, you should talk to your doctor before getting a deep tissue massage.
