About Deep Tissue Massage
What is 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.
Techniques Used in Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage uses slow, firm strokes and pressure to ease and release tension deep in your muscles. This combines effleurage and petrissage techniques with deep finger pressure that concentrates on particular areas, and follows or goes across the fibers of muscles and tendons.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage helps to refresh and relax muscles, increasing blood flow and therefore oxygen flow around your body. This process helps to:
- Get rid of toxins in very sore and strained muscles
- Strengthen and heal muscles
- Increase blood circulation in underused muscles
- Relieve chronic muscle tension throughout the body
- Break down scar tissue and "knots" deep in the muscles
Deep Tissue Massage is often used to treat people recovering from accidents and sports injuries. While relaxation is not the primary aim of Deep Tissue Massage, it can certainly be achieved.
Achieve Relaxation with Deep Tissue Massage
Although the primary goal of Deep Tissue Massage is to address muscle tension and injuries, many clients find it relaxing. Learn more about how deep tissue massage can help you relax in one of my blogs.
