Deep Tissue Massage

Don’t be afraid of Deep Tissue work!  There are times when this technique is necessary. Deep Tissue Massage is an important technique used in therapeutic massage.  It is administered to alleviate muscle strain or chronic tension that forms adhesions in the muscles. These adhesions can block circulation (blood flow to the injured or stressed tissue) and causes loss of range of motion. 

Deep Tissue work is particularly helpful to patients after hard physical training, excessive sports and prolonged sitting activities.  It treats stiff, tight, pulled and contracted muscles in any part of the body as well relieving pain in the back, neck and head.

• Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage include:
• Lengthening of shortened muscles
• Encouraging flexibility to tight and stiff muscles
• Break up of scar tissue
• Brings balance and elasticity to the body
• Cleansing and flushing of toxins

There may be some mild discomfort, but we work with the client to insure that we do not go to deep and work within your comfort level.   Remember to always communicate with your therapist if you experience any discomfort.
