This massage involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue surrounding muscles.
It’s used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, lower back pain, leg muscle tightness and sore shoulders.
Deep tissue techniques are used to break up scar tissue and physically break down muscle “knots”, adhesions or trigger points (bands of painful, rigid tissue) that can disrupt circulation and cause pain, limited range of motion and inflammation. You can also expect to feel rejuvenated in terms of your mood, due to the positive effects of the hormones that the deep pressure releases.
