Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a technique mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries.  It releases tension within the muscles and connective tissue and improves muscle tone, providing benefits for both your physical and mental health.  

BENEFITS OF DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE:

STRESS RELIEF:

Deep tissue massage is a great way to help the body relax.  It helps lower cortisol levels and increase levels of oxytocin – hormone that relaxes the body and produces soothing effects and can assist with physical symptoms of stress – tight muscles and tension headaches.

PAIN REDUCTION:

Massage therapy is often used to treat chronic lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia and stiff necks.  It can also lessen chronic pain from muscle tension, as it can loosen the tight tissue clusters causing pain.  Research has reported that deep tissue massage is more effective for relieving chronic pain than medication or other medical treatments.

BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEART RATE:

Deep tissue massage reduces stress and tension, which can have a positive effect on blood pressure.  A massage can also increase production of serotonin, which promotes feelings of wellbeing and happiness.

SCAR TISSUE AND MOVEMENT

Scar tissue often result in chronic pain and stiffness.  Regular deep tissue massages can assist in breaking up scar tissue by improving lymphatic circulation and drainage, to promote flexibility and range of motion in the area affected.

ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS

Moderate pressure can reduce arthritis pain and ease tension, making it easier for those with arthritis to move around.  It can also help with sleep issues by alleviating pain that keep patients awake at night.

REHABILITATION OF INJURED MUSCLES:

A deep tissue massage can help stretch tight or twisted muscles and can also facilitate the movement of toxins from your muscles.  Deep tissue massage therapy is used frequently to treat sports-related injuries, help with fatigue and prevents injuries.  Regular massaging can enhance muscle performance.
