What Is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is especially helpful for individuals who suffer from chronic aches and pains, muscle stiffness, or postural imbalances.
This massage method uses slow strokes and deep pressure applied across the grain of the muscle, making it ideal for:
-
Athletes with repetitive strain
-
Office workers with chronic neck/shoulder tension
-
Those recovering from injuries or surgeries
-
People with postural misalignment or mobility issues
Key Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
-
Reduces Chronic Pain
By targeting deep muscle tension, it can relieve pressure points and break up scar tissue that contributes to pain. -
Improves Range of Motion
Loosens tight muscles and enhances flexibility for better physical performance. -
Breaks Down Adhesions
Helps with the healing of muscle fibers and reduces inflammation from overuse or trauma. -
Supports Injury Recovery
Assists in faster recovery by promoting circulation and flushing out toxins from sore areas.
What to Expect During Your Session
Your RMT will conduct a brief assessment to understand your tension points. You may experience some discomfort during the session as pressure is applied, but this is a normal part of deep tissue work. Afterward, you might feel a little sore—similar to a post-workout sensation—which usually subsides in 1–2 days.
