Deep Tissue is a massage technique that involves applying firm pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle. It is mainly helpful for recovering any contracted muscles such as stiff neck and sore shoulders. It aids in relieving chronic pain in the neck, back, and legs.
Deep Tissue massage is used to break up scar tissue and physically break down any knots in the muscles, that can disrupt circulation and cause pain
Massage therapists may use their fingertips, knuckles, hands, forearms, and elbows during a deep tissue massage. In comparison to the Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage uses higher pressure and higher tension, while targeting the inner layers of muscles. It is important to communicate with your massage therapist if you feel any pain or discomfort. Drinking water after the massage can help in disposing metabolic waste from the body.
