What is Deep Tissue Massage ?
Deep Tissue massage is mostly used to help with muscular imbalances when muscular stiffness is involved by manipulating sub-layer soft tissues and fascia. Deep Tissue massage improves the posture, helps with chronic muscular pain and it is a great tool to incorporate in sports-related injury rehabilitation.
Massage technique
As Deep Tissue massage targets the inner layers of muscles, the technique will involve stroking with the use of palms and thumbs as well as elbows and forearms in order to generate deep and sustained pressure. Deep Tissue massage can be performed on the entire body or on only one, most troubled area.
Deep Tissue massage is generally considered safe, however, as the techniques involve firm pressure, you might feel a little sore for a few days following the treatment which is completely normal after this type of treatment.
