Deep Tissue Massage
What does Deep Tissue do?
Deep tissue is used to break up scar tissue and break down muscle adhesions. The knots that we feel in our muscles are muscle adhesions, which are bands of rigid and painful muscle tissue. This knots can inhibit our circulation and cause pain and inflammation.
A deep tissue massage will tipically focus on your primary areas of discomfort. This will normally be the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and legs. The increased pressure helps to alliviate any soreness or imbalance caused by injury or tenseness. If you have anxiety or are suffering with stress, a deep tissue massage will help to release the tension.
The treatment normally lasts for 60 to 90 minutes. It's an intense massage technique.
