What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a deep massage through the deeper lining muscle structures and fascia, also called Connective Tissue. This style of massage works very well for those suffering with Muscle Tension or Adhesion’s, that have been present for a while.
Although Deep Tissue Massage uses similar techniques as Swedish Massage, they come with more specific pressure in particular areas and are used in conjunction with other soft tissue techniques. This treatment can be great for those people who don’t want the deepness of a Sports Massage, but still need the benefits of a “deeper massage”.
Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage
Through manual manipulation, deep tissue massage breaks down scar tissue, adhesion’s, trigger points and reflex points. Furthermore, it can also help to loosen muscles, releases toxins such as lactic acid and allows blood and oxygen to circulate properly. This can help in the function of the lymphatic and circulatory system.
You can expect to benefit in ways such as:
- Injury prevention
- Enhancement of performance
- Reduction of scar tissue
- Reduction of muscle stiffness
- Increased injury recovery process
- Increased blood circulation and lymphatic flow
- Restoration of muscle length and balance
- Improvement of posture
- Release of tension and stress
- Improvement of flexibility
- Reduced scar tissue and other fascia adhesions, which may improve both circulatory and nerve function
