​​ABOUT DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep tissue massage is best suited for athletes, runners and people with injuries.

It can also work for people with chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia and lower back pain.

Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your:

muscles

tendons

fascia

​Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there’s far more pressure. This pressure can sometimes be painful.

In order to reach the deep muscle tissue, we will massage layer by layer of muscle, applying more and more pressure and employing special techniques with the fingers, fists, and maybe even elbows to reach and stretch that deep tissue.

​This type of massage facilitates healing by releasing contracted areas of muscle and tissue. It can help increase blood flow to the soft tissues and may help to reduce inflammation.
