What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that works on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is designed to reach below superficial muscles, tendons and fascia, which is the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones, blood vessels and nerves, to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as adhesions).

Deep tissue massage involves the use of slow strokes and deep finger pressure on contracted areas that are either prone to knotting or have been overused. At the same time, it aims to stimulate the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid in order to aid in removing waste products from damaged tissues and exercise inflamed joints.

What are the Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is usually recommended for people with chronic pain, musculoskeletal problems, repetitive strain injuries or limited mobility. It is also effective in helping athletes to prepare their bodies pre- or post-practice as it releases accumulated lactic acid in overworked muscles. As the massage therapist pays special attention to problem areas within muscle tissue, deeper tissues and joints can become more flexible without causing further injury. By increasing blood flow to tissues, deep tissue massage can help address a variety of conditions, including: 

  • Back pain
  • Neck or shoulder pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Stress
  • Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • High blood pressure
  • Arthritis
