Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure. It is a more focused type of massage during which the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots, known as ‘adhesions’. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it’s important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

Because Deep Tissue Massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. You should however, feel better than ever within a day or two. It is beneficial for many physical problems, including sports injuries and chronic pain. Because it works very deeply, emotional issues can also be addressed, when these have been stored in the body.
