How it works

Deep tissue massage works by applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. The therapist uses their fingers, thumbs, and elbows to apply the pressure, focusing on specific areas of concern.

Benefits

• Treatment of Musculoskeletal Issues: Deep tissue massage is primarily used to treat musculoskeletal issues such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure to the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues.
• Reduction of Inflammation: Deep tissue massage can help reduce inflammation and its associated symptoms, making it beneficial for conditions that cause pain, swelling, and other uncomfortable symptoms.
• Stress Relief: Deep tissue massage is an effective way to unplug and relax, making it a great stress reliever.
• Relief from Chronic Pain: Studies have shown that deep tissue massage can effectively relieve chronic neck pain and improve the range of motion in the cervical spine.
• Respiratory Benefits: Current research suggests that deep tissue massage may have respiratory benefits in healthy adults.
• Improved Blood Pressure: Deep tissue massage can help lower blood pressure by releasing endorphins that relax blood vessels, allowing your body to pump blood more easily.
• Breakdown of Adhesions: Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down adhesions (rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments, thereby relieving pain and restoring normal movement.
