Therapies - Deep Tissue or Therapeutic Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue or tendons.
The deep pressure is applied on the contracted areas to force the muscle fibers to relax using a reflex reaction. It is done through slow strokes and deep finger or elbow pressure either following or going across the fibers of the muscles, tendons and fascia.
Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.
When muscles are continually contracted, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.
