What is Deep Tissue massage actually?

The technique is so developed to relieve the buildup of severe tension in the deeper layers of the muscles and connective tissue. The aftereffect of a deep tissue massage is to loosening the muscle tissues and releasing the toxins from within the muscles. It also gets the blood and oxygen circulating flowing properly.

Adhesions or bands of rigid painful tissue caused by muscle tension or injury, blocks the circulation in the effected area and causes pain and inflammation accompanied by limited movement.

Deep Tissue Massage therapy is designed to physically break down the adhesions and restore normal. This then releases the deeply held tension points. The technique involves direct, deep pressure or friction which is applied along the grain of the muscle. With this massage technique, the full use of fingertips, hands, elbows, knuckles and forearms during the massage is common.

Relief symptoms include muscles and neighboring joints feeling looser and have more flexibility, more freedom in the movement of previously stiff areas such as moving your head from side to side.
