Deep Tissue is a broad-based, medium to deep pressure massage designed to help break down scar tissue, work out trigger points (knots within the muscle) and stimulate blood flow. Deep Tissue massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow trokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Deep tissue is usually combined with several modalities including trigger point therapy, myofascial release, stretching, transverse frictioning, compression, etc. to acheive the best results. Pressure is adjusted to the needs and comfort level of the client. |
