Deep Tissue & Trigger Point

Deep muscle massage will flush toxins from your body and enhance your immune system. Working a specific joint, muscle or muscle group, your therapist can access deeper layers of the soft tissue.

 

Because each body experiences pressure differently, your therapist will start superficially and ease into the depth of the muscle slowly to allow more movement. The direct pressure applied by your therapist will relieve tension immediately.

 

Techniques that utilize deep-tissue/deep-muscle massage are administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia.

 

These techniques require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature.

 

Deep tissue massage helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. Deep tissue massage is generally integrated with other massage techniques.
