A fusion between Swedish massage and structural massage, deep tissue massage relieves aches and pains that are stored in the deepest parts of the muscles. Deep massage therapy features firm pressure and long, slow strokes to reach the deepest layers of muscle, tendons, and fascia. These are the protective layers of connective tissue that surround our muscles, joints, and bones.
It is perfect for working out the muscle knots while alleviating stubborn tension and soreness. Also, deeper massage is beneficial for chronic aches and pains in the upper and lower back, shoulders, legs, and neck.
Deep tissue bodywork is also beneficial for athletes of every kind — from weekend warriors to full-time professionals. The deep therapeutic massage technique can also be customized to focus on the areas of your body that experience repetitive muscle use and stress based on the sport or activity.
