Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues, using slow, firm pressure to release chronic tension, adhesions (knots), and scar tissue. It targets areas prone to pain like the neck, shoulders, and lower back, aiming to alleviate chronic pain, improve range of motion, break up adhesions, and reduce inflammation.
Key Focus Areas and Issues
Deeper Layers:
Unlike a traditional massage, deep tissue works on the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue.
Chronic Tension & Knots:
It aims to release long-held, deep-seated muscle tension.
Adhesions:
This type of massage breaks down adhesions, which are bands of rigid, painful tissue that can form after injuries or intense activity, blocking circulation and causing pain.
Scar Tissue:
Deep tissue massage is effective at breaking up scar tissue that builds up over time, improving flexibility and blood flow.
Common Conditions Treated
Chronic Pain:
Deep tissue massage can alleviate persistent pain in areas like the lower back, neck, and shoulders.
Limited Mobility:
By working on deep tissue and breaking down adhesions, it helps restore normal movement.
Injury Recovery:
It’s used to treat injuries from falls, sports, and whiplash, helping to heal connective tissues.
Repetitive Strain Injuries:
Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome can be treated with deep tissue massage.
Fibromyalgia & Osteoarthritis:
These conditions can also benefit from deep tissue massage to manage pain and improve mobility.
