Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.") Unlike a regular relaxation massage, deep tissue massage works effectively on the skeletal structures that lie deep within the body.

Many people seek a deep tissue massage to help in treating crippling diseases, muscle, tendon and ligament injuries.

When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue.

Through controlled manual manipulation, deep tissue massage breaks down scar tissue and crystallization, loosens muscles, releases toxins and allows blood and oxygen to circulate properly.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

The following benefits are believed to result from deep tissue massage:

• Reduced pain
• Improved sleep
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved mobility
• Increased range of motion
• Restored ease of movement
• Reduced muscle hyper tonicity, tension and spasm
• Reduced scar tissue and other fascial adhesions, which may improve both circulatory and nerve function
• Promote circulation (of both blood and lymph)
• Reduce ischemia (by releasing hypertoned muscles and reducing facial adhesions, thereby improving circulation)
