Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but using deeper pressure to release chronic muscle tension. It concentrates on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia.
Treats injured muscles
Deep tissue massage can be an effective treatment for muscles that are injured. It can reduce the pain caused by injuries, and promotes healing by stretching tight or twisted muscles, and facilitates the movement of toxins from the muscles so the muscles can relax. Deep tissue massage is an excellent treatment for sports injuries.
Reduces chronic pain
Deep tissue massage is a very effective way to relieve chronic pain. Deep tissue massage increases the blood flow in the body, so it can help to reduce the inflammation that causes pain. Muscle tension is often a side effect of chronic pain. Deep tissue massage is very effective to release muscle tension by loosening the tight muscle tissue.
Improves blood pressure
Deep tissue massage is an effective way to release stress and tension, and this can have a beneficial effect on the blood pressure. Deep tissue massage can help to increase the production of serotonin, which is a hormone that promotes good feelings and happiness.
Breaks up scar tissue
Deep tissue massage can help break up and erase scar tissue in the body, by improving lymphatic drainage and circulation. It can help to improve range of motion and flexibility in the affected area. Scar tissue is often associated with chronic pain and muscle tension, so deep tissue massage can help with these symptoms. Deep tissue massage is often a recommended treatment for people who are recovering from surgery.
Stress relief
Deep tissue massage can be a relief for people who suffer from chronic stress and possible side effects like muscle tightness and tension headaches. While receiving the treatment you can allow yourself to relax and "let it all go". After the treatment you will feel revitalised, so daily challenges will be easier to overcome.
