Therapeutic and relaxing, deep tissue massage can ease away long-held tensions and tightness. It is specifically designed to address chronic pain, and can be beneficial for people who use their bodies very physically, for example athletes, labourers or removalists – anyone who puts the body under a lot of physical stress.
It can also be useful for people who have sustained a physical injury or even if you work in modern work environment – stress can cause tensions to build up in the body and if not addressed can turn into chronic complaints.
How Does Deep Tissue Massage Work?
A deep tissue massage works on the superficial and the deeper layers of muscle, fascia and tendons. The massage therapist will start by using slow and gentle strokes. The body and mind need to be in a relaxed state before the therapist can go deeper.
He or she may then use palms, fingers, thumbs, forearms or even elbows to work deeper into the muscles.
