Deep Tissue Massage

This massage requires the therapist to break through the superficial layers of the skin, and down through the fascia (connective tissue surrounding all organs etc.) to where knots have formed, due to injury or tension.

In order to work these knots out, and give you a greater range of movement, a very firm pressure needs to be applied to the trigger points (areas of tension and knot formation).

The massage begins with stretching the skin, and a few Swedish massage techniques to warm up the muscles, then techniques with the knuckles and elbows are used to break down through the fascia and into the knot.

As harsh as this may sound, its honestly not nearly as bad as people anticipate.

There is a very common misconception that deep tissue massages are incredibly painful, but this is not the case.

Yes, the pressure applied is firmer and can be a bit uncomfortable or painful on areas of tension, but for the most part, the massage should not be that sore, and the pressure can always be adjusted if the client is struggling with discomfort.

Always remember deep tissue massages are not about putting someone through a massage of torture and digging elbows, but rather about getting to the specific problem and fixing it at a tolerable pressure.

Obviously, everyone is different and will benefit from massage individually, however, more often than not, most people feel the benefits of deep tissue massage after just one treatment!
