Deep Tissue Massage

Service Description

Deep tissue massage has the same foundations as Swedish massage but uses a more intense pressure to help release tension in the deeper layers of muscle and in the connective tissues, or fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints). Although deep tissue can cause discomfort during the session, by working slowly with the muscular release, we avoid pain which could aggravate or tighten the muscle further. This style of massage is especially effective for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. In addition, it has been found to be useful in improving circulation, reducing aches and pain, increasing range of motion, and easing inflammation.
