Deep Tissue Massage

• Deep tissue massage is a specialized massage technique that focuses on relieving tension in the deeper layers of your muscle tissue, fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles), and tendons. Unlike a relaxing Swedish massage, deep tissue massage utilizes slower, more forceful strokes and direct pressure to target specific areas of chronic tightness and pain.
  
  1. Relief from pain: There are many chronic pain conditions that can be eased by deep tissue massage. Pain from sports injuries can be reduced too.
  
  2. Faster healing: There is some evidence that deep tissue massage may aid faster healing, due to increased blood flow and reduced inflammation.
  
  3. Reduced blood pressure: Regular deep tissue massage may help to reduce blood pressure and therefore reduce risk factors for serious disease.
  
  4. Increased flexibility: Reduction in tension can help to increase flexibility, by reducing tightness and range of movement. This is one of the long term benefits of deep tissue massage
