DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

A deep tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage designed to target the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It’s often used to address chronic muscle tension, injuries, and specific problem areas in the body. This technique involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).

Key Benefits

• Pain Relief: Helps alleviate chronic pain, including lower back pain, stiff necks, and muscle tension.
• Improved Circulation: Promotes better blood flow, which aids in healing and reduces inflammation.
• Stress Reduction: Releases tension in the muscles, which can also ease stress and anxiety.
• Improved Mobility: Relaxes tight muscles and increases range of motion.
• Breaks Down Scar Tissue: Can reduce adhesions and improve flexibility in areas of prior injury.

What to Expect

• Pressure: The therapist may use fingers, knuckles, forearms, or elbows to apply pressure.
• Soreness: It’s normal to feel sore afterward, similar to how you might feel after an intense workout.
• Communication: It's important to communicate with your therapist if the pressure is too intense or if you feel discomfort.
