Deep tissue massage is a technique that focuses primarily on the deeper layers of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue usually collagen). Sometimes this technique involves the therapist using firmer pressure in order to reach these key areas and get them to release. This particular type of massage is often recommended for patients who are comfortable with a more intense touch.
It can be especially helpful for chronic aches and pains and contracted areas such as stiff neck and upper back, lower back pain, leg muscle tightness and sore shoulders. It can be slightly uncomfortable at times but your therapist will adjust the treatment to suit you.
Massage involves working the soft tissue of the body, to ease day-to-day stresses and muscular tension, and promote relaxation. It helps to increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the treated areas and can also be used in support of other therapies to assist in the rehabilitation of muscular injuries.
When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limit movement and cause inflammation. Muscles must be relaxed in order for the therapist to reach the deeper musculature. This process takes time and can be very relaxing. Patients are often advised to drink plenty of water following massage to help flush toxins from the muscles.
