Deep Tissue Massage
What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage is a technique that is used to break down the knots (adhesions) that cause pain and tightness in muscles all over the body. Commonly experienced in the neck, shoulders, low back, buttocks, thighs and calves, these knots often cause long term (chronic) pain that is unpleasant but tolerable, meaning we don’t do anything about it!
However, you can get rid of it! You can eliminate those aches and pains and improve your ability to exercise and enjoy getting the most out of your body.

What are the benefits of Deep Tissue Massage?
You will love Deep Tissue Massage if you suffer from whiplash of the neck and upper back muscles (with associated headaches), scoliosis, low back pain, sciatica, and pain in the thighs and calves. It’s also super beneficial to office workers who use a computer all day long, because the forearm muscles can develop chronic pain and fatigue. Deep Tissue Massage can eliminate pain, strengthen muscles, reduce fatigue and improve your posture.
What is Deep Tissue Massage like?
Your therapist will start with light pressure to increase blood flow to the superficial muscles causing relaxation. Then they will apply firmer strokes along and across the tissue reaching deep lying muscles that are often the source of chronic pain. As you probably know, pressing a muscle knot can feel uncomfortable, but your therapist will work with you to apply the most effective technique within your range of tolerance. The benefit of a little discomfort during the treatment is the immediate and sustained reduction in muscle pain and stiffness that you may have been living with for months or years, following the treatment.
