Start Feeling Better In As Few As 3 Visits.
What is a deep tissue massage? It is a different technique from other massages because it works on a deeper level. This technique uses deep sustained pressure to target inner layers of your connective tissues and muscles. This means that it is designed to affect multiple layers of muscles to get to the source of your pain.
Whereas a regular massage is geared toward relaxation, a deep tissue massage doesn’t just focus on relaxation. It works on getting to the root cause of your pain.

There are many deep tissue massage benefits like loosening up restrictions, knots and adhesions in your muscles and fascia.
You see, when you have back pain or shoulder pain, the pain could actually be caused by a fascia restriction in a completely different area of your body because fascia connects all the muscles in your body together. So a restriction in one area of your body can affect a different area of your body. A deep tissue massage can work these restrictions out, helping to relieve the pain.
Other benefits include:
These are two different types of massage.
During a Swedish massage your whole body is worked wherase a deep tissue massage focuses on specific pain sites to affect them in a positive way.
Also, a Swedish massage does not use the same type of pressure when it comes to deep tissue. It focuses on the outer layers of the muscles whereas deep tissue focuses on the deeper layers.
Deep tissue massage focuses on chronic pain and sport and muscle related injuries. A Swedish massage mainly focuses on relieving tension in the neck and back that is caused by everyday activities like sitting in front of a computer too long.

Deep strokes – this is where more pressure is placed to affect the deeper and muscles of your body. It’s relaxing and boosts circulation to accelerate healing as well as remove waste products from your body that inhibit healing.
Rolling – this is where the therapist pulls your skin away and gently rolls the skin in a forward motion to separate skin from stuck muscles. Stuck muscles can cause pain. Rolling helps free up these restrictions, improving range of motion and reducing pain.
Cross Friction – the purpose of using this technique is to prevent adherent scars from forming. These scars can cause pain and limit mobility. This technique is applied in a longitudinal direction parallel to the vessels, which can improve local circulation.
Picking up – your therapist will gently pull your tissues aways from the bone, squeeze, and release. This improves blood circulation, relieving tension, and pain. It also improves the extensibility and elasticity of your tissues which helps increase your flexibility.

Before your massage, your therapist will ask about your pain or problems you’re experiencing.
Then you will lie down on your back or stomach over a sheet. You can undress as much as you feel comfortable.
Your therapist will first start to warm up your muscles using a lighter touch. Then once your muscles are properly warmed up they will start working on the problem areas using deep stroking and kneading techniques with different pressures.

Yes, a deep tissue massage is one of the best ways to release those painful knots.
Usually after the first massage you may feel muscle soreness from the firm pressure for a few days after. To combat this you can use a cold pack to ease the soreness.
Deep Tissue Massage is typically a safe massage, however, it’s not for everyone. If you have any of these conditions below you should speak to your doctor before getting this type of massage.
To maximize the effects of a deep tissue massage you can do these 3 things:
Hydrate – when you get a deep tissue massage it stimulates your lymphatic system to remove toxins from your body. Water is essential to help flush out these toxins. If you don’t drink enough water after a massage, you could get a experiences symptoms like a headache. Plus your body is made up of 60% water and this type of massage releases fluids from your tissues so it’s important to rehydrate with water.
Delay workout after deep tissue massage. You see, a deep tissue massage can be very taxing on your muscles so its best to wait at least 12 hours before you workout.
Optimize the benefits – you can increase the benefits of a deep tissue massage by combining recovery modalities like infrared saunas, hot and cold tubs or compression sleeves/boots. This can help boost recovery and the effects of the massage to take your performance to another level.
