Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is just that. A deeper, slower massage that reaches deep underlying tissues. A deep tissue massage will start like a Swedish massage, but after the body is warmed up the pressure increases to the clients desired level or the therapists recommendation.

What are the benefits of a deep tissue massage? This massage has a goal of reaching deeper into the layer of muscles and relaxing them, as well as the superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. Many muscles lay several inches beneath the surface, some times the only way to reach them would be to work deeper, through the superficial layers of tissue. By utilizing a deeper pressure it can be possible to smooth out and release those deeper or thicker tight, tired muscles. And as with Swedish massage, deep tissue will increase the circulation, which in turn allows the body to deliver healthier blood to your tissues.

Deep tissue massage is great way to relieve stress.

It should be noted that not everyone will like deep tissue massage. Some people cannot or should not tolerate it. This includes those with severe osteoarthritis, small children and some of the elderly. Some people simply do not enjoy the deeper pressure. But for others, it is the best way to mentally and physically relax and reset themselves. It is all personal preference whether client chooses deep tissue or swedish massage.
