Deep Tissue Massage
is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slower strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia. Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscle. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue and it usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
