Deep tissue massage is a type of massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It helps to release chronic muscle tension and knots through slow strokes combined with direct pressure or friction across the grain of the muscles. It can be used to treat muscle injuries caused by sports activities or repetitive motion, as well as everyday stress-related tightness. It is also used to reduce inflammation and promote healing after an injury.
Deep tissue massage works by applying pressure to specific areas of your body in order to loosen up tight muscles and tendons that have built up over time. This type of massage uses a combination of techniques such as kneading, pressing, rubbing, rolling, tapping, and stretching in order to target multiple layers of muscle tissue deep beneath the skin’s surface. These techniques help to stimulate blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body, which can help speed up recovery time for muscle injuries.
Deep tissue massage differs from other types of massages because it is focused on releasing tension in deep layers of muscle rather than just relaxing superficial muscles like Swedish or hot stone massages. This type of massage requires more effort from both the therapist and client because it involves using deeper pressure for longer periods of time in order to target deeper tissues within the body. As a result, this type of massage may be more uncomfortable for clients,but it can provide greater relief due to its ability to target deeply embedded knots within muscle tissues.
If you are looking for a deeper level of relaxation than other types of massages offer,then deep tissue massage therapy may be right for you! So why not try out one of our deep tissue massages today? You will be glad you did!
