Deep Tissue massage

•  is a good massage for someone who has had massage before 

• usually incorporates some of the Relaxation and Swedish techniques, but have the added component of using specific techniques to help specific problem areas in the muscles or joints.  

• Some examples of deep tissue techniques include 

  • releasing trigger points caused by repetitive motions

  •  breaking up scar tissue from old injuries, (sounds worse than it is)

  • loosening restrictions in the muscles and fascia that limit your range of motion and/or cause you pain

  • This kind of massage typically works on a deeper level in the muscles or fascia, tendons or ligaments, and it feels deeper too.

  • There may be some discomfort as these problem areas are worked, but afterward they usually feel more mobile and less painful

  • This kind of massage can be very beneficial for those who suffer from pain or limited mobility on a regular basis or for those who have a high level of physical challenge or demand in their everyday life.

  •  Even when someone's pain is caused by a medical condition that massage cannot treat, massage may be able to help loosen the muscles that do tighten up in response to dealing with so much pain.

So...do Deep Tissue massages hurt? Sometimes...but in a good way. As massage therapists are trained to say, "it should either feel good or hurt good", and you as the client always have the right and responsibility to share when the level of pressure is too much and has crossed that line. If you're still not sure which one is right for you, you might like to try each of them at different points in your life. You might even be able to ask for some of both relaxation and deep tissue in the same massage so you can relax, and so can your muscles. 1 hour , 90 minutes or 2 hour sessions available. At least once a month on a regular basis can bring amazing changes to your body and well being.
