Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on reaching deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues in the body. It involves applying firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes to target areas of chronic tension, knots, and adhesions.
During a deep tissue massage session, the massage therapist uses their hands, fingers, elbows, and sometimes forearms to apply intense pressure and friction along the grain of the muscles. This technique helps to break down muscle adhesions, release chronic tension, and alleviate pain and discomfort.
The benefits of deep tissue massage include improved range of motion, increased flexibility, reduced muscle tension, and enhanced circulation. It can also help in relieving stress and promoting relaxation.
