DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Service Description

Deep tissue massage is a form of massage where the therapist uses firm pressure to manipulate the deeper layers of muscles on the body. Deep tissue massage helps to relieve muscular tension, breaking down “knots”, and increase blood flow to the muscles. This is a vigorous workout for the body, perfect to alleviate high stress levels. Tailored entirely to your needs, it leaves you feeling grounded and focused. Deep tissue massage is a specific type of massage that targets deeper structures of muscles and fascia. It is best used on smaller muscle injuries and chronic problems. Whiplash, sports injuries, postural alignment, treating spasms as well as tension in the muscles are very good examples of what would best be targeted for deep tissue. This massage will focus on stretching fascia, supporting and penetrating all the muscles, bones, nerves and organs. It will work layer-by-layer releasing tension in the connective tissue going into the deepest accessible layer to create changes in posture and make room for movements after releasing fascial adhesions and chronic muscle contractures. Deep tissue massage therapist will use fingers, thumbs, fist, elbows and forearms to help penetrate all these areas. The massage therapist will also be focusing on releasing chronic muscle tension as well as knots and adhesions in the muscles.
