ABOUT DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
ABOUT DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage does what it says 'on the tin' - it is a massage technique that works on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.
Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm strokes and pressure to ease and release tension deep in your muscles, combining effleurage and petrisage techniques with deep finger pressure that concentrates on particular areas, and follows or goes across the fibres of muscles and tendons.
Deep tissue massage helps to refresh and relax muscles, increasing the blood flow and therefore the oxygen flow around your body. This gets rid of toxins in very sore and strained muscles, which helps them to strengthen and heal.
Deep tissue massage is often used to treat people who are recovering from accidents, and for sports injuries as it increases blood circulation in muscles that are underused, relieves chronic muscle tension throughout the body, and can also break down scar tissue and "knots" deep in the muscles.
Relaxation, whilst not a primary aim of deep tissue massage can certainly be achieved as I discuss in one of my Blogs.
