Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of
muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through
slow strokes and deep pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going
across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
Deep tissue massage is used to
release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure
or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue
massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually
focuses on more specific areas and may cause some tenderness during or right after
the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than
ever within a day or two.
