Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue massage is a technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries.

It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.

It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

 

Deep tissue massage offers both physical and psychological benefits.

Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massage helps to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness. But it can still help to you unwind mentally, too.

 

Its effects have been  likened to those of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (Advil).
