What is Deep Tissue Massage Therapy?

Deep tissue massage therapy is a type of massage aimed at targeting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

It uses slow strokes and deep, sustained pressure to address issues in the underlying muscle layers, fascia, and other structures.

This form of massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), or have sustained physical injury.

The technique is also designed to break up and eliminate scar tissue from previous injuries.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Improves Mobility and Range of Motion:

By breaking up scar tissue and reducing tension in muscles and tissues, deep tissue massage can enhance flexibility and increase range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or dealing with conditions like frozen shoulder.

Reduces

Chronic Pain:

By focusing on deep layers of muscle and fascia, deep tissue massage can help reduce chronic pain including lower back pain, arthritis, muscle injuries, and more. It increases blood flow to these areas, helping to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

Lower

Blood Pressure:

Studies have shown that deep tissue massage can help reduce high blood pressure, thanks to its ability to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Stress

Reduction:

Despite the deeper and more intense pressure used in this massage, it significantly helps in reducing stress and promoting relaxation. This can lead to lowered cortisol levels and an increase in oxytocin and serotonin, which are hormones responsible for positive emotions.

Helps with Muscle Rehabilitation:

This massage can be particularly beneficial in the rehabilitation of muscles that have been injured due to trauma, surgery, or repetitive strain. It helps to make tissues more pliable and less prone to reinjury.

Breaks Up

Scar Tissue:

For those who have sustained physical injuries resulting in considerable scar tissue, deep tissue massage may increase the range of motion and decrease pain associated with the scar tissue.

Hot Stone Massage (Relaxation)

A relaxation massage that utilizes heated oiled stones instead of the therapist's hands.

This specialized relaxation massage gives clients pure bliss, deep relaxation, enhanced circulation and an overall feeling of warmth.

Short and Long Term Effects

The treatments have been proven to reduce the need for medication, improve the outcomes for conditions treated and increase the recovery rates of affected tissues. In many instances, surgery can be delayed or even avoided. The following are some of the effects of the treatment:

Increases endorphin production which allows for reduction in pain medication
Elevates adenosine triphosphate production which increases energy for the cells
Modulates white blood cells which improves immune response
Stimulates DNA production and cell division which increases the rate of healing
Promotes collagen synthesis which enhances muscle, tendon and ligament strength
Improves lymphatic drainage which causes a reduction in swelling
Promotes angiogenesis and the creation of new blood vessels which improves circulation
Reduces inflammation and swelling leading to faster recovery time
Reduces the formation of fibrous tissue and scar tissue which promotes healthy tissue recovery
