Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that addresses the deeper layers of tissue in the body.  By realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue it can be extremely effective in treating chronic conditions.

If you have a chronic stiff neck, low back tightness, and/or sore shoulders, you should try some deep tissue massage.

A lot of the same techiniques are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.

How does deep tissue massage work?

When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement.

When do I use deep tissue massage?

Talk to your RMT (registered massage therapist) and see if your symptoms would benefit from this treatment.
