Deep Tissue
| Deep tissue massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep pressure using the knuckles, fists, forearms and /or elbows to penetrate deeply into the tissue on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It is called deep tissue, because it also focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. |
This invigorating experience is a process of detection of stiff or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature. The technique is powerful and often painful although the benefits can be great. It is helpful in restructuring the soft tissues of the body and can result in improved posture. The areas worked on may remain sore for up to 48 hours after the treatment, but thereafter the muscle groups will feel much more flexible and will ache less than before the treatment.
