Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is designed to apply pressure to the layers of muscle and soft tissues and is highly therapeutic. The therapist applies firm pressure and slow strokes to the patient’s body to reach the fascia, or connective tissue, and muscles deep beneath the surface. These techniques are often used to break down ‘knots’, which are sections of rigid muscle and tissue adhesion, and can also be used to break through scar tissue and stimulate blood flow and healing. Knots and scar tissue are linked to a limited range of motion, poor circulation, pain, and inflammation.Conditions
