Deep Tissue Massage is a massage modality that focuses on deeper layers of muscles. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons or fascia.
This
type of massage releases chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more
direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not
with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar
tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may
cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage
is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
Why should
one get a Deep Tissue Massage?
This
special massage feels good and it is beneficial to health. When muscles are
stressed, they impede the regular flow of oxygen and nutrients, leading to
inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage
helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and
oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important
to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins
from the body.
What
is the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage?
The
purpose is to separate the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held
patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle.
It is both corrective and therapeutic.
