Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a type of massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and fascia tissue (connective tissue surrounding muscles).
It helps treat pain, muscle tension, stiffness and reduced range of movement by realigning tissue back into normal form. The techniques are applied with deep pressure and at a slow rate to the affected areas in order to reach deep muscles and fascia. This results in physically breaking down hard areas of rigid tissue (adhesion), hence relieving pain. This type of massage decreases tension and increases flexibility.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massages can be beneficial in treating both sport-related and non-sport related muscular conditions.
The physiological benefits include increased venous return, removal of toxins, increased cellular exchange and increased tissue elasticity and flexibility. Deep Tissue Massages encourage healing of soft tissues in the body post-exercise or after injury, hence improving recovery and is often integrated as an essential part of the recovery process or training programme. It can also help individuals participating in sport to train more efficiently and prevent injuries from occurring.
