DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
About
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
A deep tissue massage is a type of massage that focuses on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissues. It is used to help realign tissues back into normal form. A deep tissue massage is used to help relief pain and stiffness. Deep tissue massage techniques are applied with deep pressure and at a slow rate to areas of tension and pain in order to reach deep muscles and fascia. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down hard areas of rigid tissue called adhesion and relieve pain. A deep tissue massage uses massage oils to relax muscles and then work into deeper musculature.
