DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE: BOTH THE PAIN AND RELIEF

Everyone enjoys having a deep tissue massage, along with the relaxation and tension relief it brings. Deep tissue massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, including the skin, tendons, muscles and connective tissue by a professional, for relaxation or to enhance the body's own healing capability. They expand this definition by including that this form of massage therapy is done through the process of "applying pressure to the body." Even if you are only having a deep tissue massage to relax, it will have unexpected health benefits, including taking toxins out of your body.

What is the goal of deep tissue massage?
The primary goal for deep tissue massage is to restore a balanced upright posture, decrease symptoms of pain, break down scar tissue/muscle adhesion’s and improve your range of motion. It is a massage technique that works on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.

How does deep tissue massage work?
Deep tissue massage is massage therapy that addresses muscular tension in the sub layers of the muscles and fascia.  Gentle stretching and myofascial trigger point therapy techniques are used to reduce pain in the body associated with soreness and tension.  Deep tissue massage may assist with chronic muscular pain, rehabilitation from an injury or reducing inflammation related pain.

What are the benefits of deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage can break up and eliminate scar tissue from previous injuries. A common problem is that stressed muscles can block nutrients and oxygen from getting to where they need to go, and this will cause inflammation that allows toxins to build up in your muscle tissue. The inflammation and toxins contribute to pain and stress. Deep Tissue Massage breaks up and releases the built-up toxins by loosening the muscles. With the toxins released, blood and oxygen can circulate as they should through one’s body. Being properly hydrated before you go to your massage appointment and drinking plenty of water after one of these massages is highly recommended.

Many massage therapists have some basic deep tissue training, so they can do some of the techniques during a classic massage. However, for a good Deep Tissue Massage you should find a massage therapist that specializes in deep tissue massaging.
