Deep Tissue

What is deep tissue massage?

A simple definition might be the understanding of the layers of the body and the ability to work with tissue within these layers to relax, lengthen and release holding patterns in the most effective and energy efficient way possible.

In Deep Tissue massage there is less emphasis on pleasure as the primary goal and more emphasis on altering structure and muscle restrictions. Specific tools like fists, knuckles, elbows are used to enhance the session with stretching and lengthening technique.

When properly done deep tissue can produce long lasting benefits.

It helps alleviate pain caused by inflammation
Deep tissue brings out better posture
Increased flexibility and range of motion due to the stretching and lengthening techniques
Increases fluid movement as scar tissue is released.
Improve the healing time o strained ligaments and muscular tissue.

This type of work is great for athletes, anyone who does repetitive work and experiences injuries. Fibromyalgia patients benefit most from soft tissue therapy as it helps relieve pain, reduce stiffness and fatigue.
