Deep Tissue Massage
It is a full body massage that deeply manipulates the muscles and the connective tissue called fascia. A massage therapist uses fingers, hands, and elbows to break up the tension in muscles. The deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension because it reaches muscles located below the surface of the top muscles and loosens up trigger points, or adhesions that exist in the muscles and fascia. This provides better circulation of blood and relieves deep-seated muscle pain, relaxing the body. Deep tissue massage was known and used by ancient Greeks and Egyptians who were the first to discover its benefits.
Deep Tissue Massage eases the tension in over-compensating muscles and relieves stress and aches in muscles that might be overworked or strained. If you suffer from chronic pain, deep tissue massage can help you by releasing chronic muscle tension and eliminating scar tissue build-up to restore mobility and loosen stiff muscles.
