Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is ideal for treating major muscle groups like the neck or lower back. It can also relieve strain and treat injuries in your joints and tendons.  Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage. However, the deeper pressure releases  chronic muscle tension. This type of massage affects the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia. Fascia is the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints.

Unlike Swedish massage, which has a relaxing effect and uses lighter pressure, deep tissue massage uses deep finger pressure. Strokes are firm and slow. You can make the most of a deep tissue massage by being relaxed and by trusting your therapist to massage your pain away.
