Your body is your living vehicle, and a pain-free body requires regular maintenance. While many massage techniques induce relaxation with soothing and gentle kneading, Deep Tissue Massage involves more intense muscle manipulation. 

The deep pressure used in the massage is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The massage also reduces stress hormone levels and heart rate while boosting mood and relaxation by triggering the release of happy hormones like oxytocin and serotonin.

The massage is used to treat a variety of physical ailments such as:

• Chronic pain
• Fibromyalgia
• Injured muscles
• Limited mobility
• Postural problems
• Sciatica
• Osteoarthritis

How does a Deep Tissue Massage work?

Deep tissue massage works by breaking down muscle adhesions that can build up after an accident or a chronic illness. By applying intense, controlled pressure and friction to the affected area across the grain of the muscle. 

The massage relaxes rigid tissue and relieves the pain associated with stiff muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort. It’s good to communicate your comfort level and pain tolerance with your therapist before and during the massage. You may be asked to apply ice to the tender spots following your deep tissue massage. Some soreness should be expected but it should pass in a day. 

The treatment focuses on the deep layers of muscles and their surrounding tissues. The main goal is to break the scar tissue that forms following some injury, or with years and to break down muscle adhesions (commonly known as the  “knots”), as well as reduce pain and tension in both muscles and tissues. It can also help to speed up the recovery process by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

While Swedish massage is focused on relaxation, Deep-tissue massage is used to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness and the overall condition of your muscles. 

Strokes that are used in this treatment are similar to those used in Swedish massage, only that the movement is slower, and the pressure is deeper and more intense, concentrated on the areas of tension and pain. 

Aside from the physical benefits, Deep-tissue massage also has an impact on your mental health, as this practice is well-known as a great stress reliever. It can completely remove physical symptoms of stress such as tight muscles, tense shoulders, and stiff neck. 

What do people who do get regular massages have to say? 

They have more energy. They can demand more from their bodies. They find a new and unburned flow in the way they move. They feel better, both mentally and physically. You will too.
