Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage therapy session Deep Tissue Massage therapy session involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. It also promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

Reduces pain
The most obvious and immediate benefit of a deep tissue massage is pain relief. As the skin is massaged, it slows the activity of inflammatory cytokines, which contribute to pain and inflammation. Additionally, massage helps increase the proteins that signal the muscles to produce more mitochondria, which helps muscles recover from injury and activity

Optimizes joint mobility/flexibility and muscle length and capacity
With the prominence of desk jobs, muscle injuries are now more prominent than they were 50 years ago. Deep tissue massages can help improve flexibility and range of motion by helping stimulate the body’s natural lubricants

Prevents injury
In addition lubricant stimulation, this type of massage can also help with “lactate clearance, delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), muscle fatigue and injury prevention and treatment,” which is why it is so popular with athletes

Improves posture
A lesser known deep tissue massage benefit is how great it can be for your posture! Considering poor posture is one of the leading causes of back pain, massage is a great, all-natural way to help improve this important aspect of your life. While lifestyle changes are certainly required for improved posture, deep tissue massages can help reset the body to its natural alignment and relax the sore muscles

Decreases stress and improves mood
High levels of stress cause the body to produce excess cortisol, which can lead to various health problems. Fortunately, deep tissue massage has been proven to lower levels of cortisol and increase levels of serotonin and oxytocin, hormones that are responsible for overall happiness, trust and relationship building
