About Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a massaging technique that is commonly used to treat sports injuries and strains. It involves the use of slow strokes and applying deep finger pressure to reach deeper layers of the muscles and fascia. Deep tissue massage is one of the most popular types of massages and delivers plenty of benefits to the body. Deep tissue massage helps reduces tension is the tissues and muscles. It also helps to reduce inflammation and boost blood flow.

How is deep tissue massage different from others?

​Deep tissue massage usually targets the structure of the deep tissue muscles and fascia by applying intense pressure. On the other hand, regular massage does not involve a lot of force. The pressure applied is therapeutic and gives a nice soothing feel. Deep tissue massage usually results in some level of discomfort and, in some cases, pain, especially when the massage therapist is working in areas where there is scar tissue.

Main benefits of deep tissue massage

​Deep tissue massage offers both physiological and psychological benefits. It mainly focuses on improving stiffness and treating muscle pain. This massage can also help you to unwind after a busy day at work.
Below are few benefits of deep tissue massage:
  • It helps in treating chronic lower back pain
  • It helps to improve the blood pumping through the muscles
  • It helps to lower high blood pressure
  • It helps to lower heart rates
  • It helps in treating anxiety
  • It helps to flux out toxin from the body by pushing out lactic acid, thus improving your overall health
  • It helps in making movement much easier after an injury
​If you want to relax and relieve pain or you are recovering from an injury, then deep tissue massage can come in handy. A deep tissue massage is administered using multiple advanced techniques.
