Deep tissue
massage is a form of intense massage that aims to release myofascial
(connective tissue) restrictions in the body, and to break up any
restrictive scar tissue. The theory behind this type of massage is that when
chronic knots (also referred to as adhesions) exist within the deep muscle
tissues, the body’s natural balance is thrown out of whack. Until the natural
balance is restored, injured fibrous tissues can cause chronic joint and
muscle pain, poor posture and coordination this also promotes the release of
hazardous toxins in the body, and it also encourages the body to repair any
damaged cells.
-
Deep tissue
massage also restores the length and flexibility to the fascia (the
fibrous tissue that surrounds the muscles and organs), by normalizing the
tissue and by improving the strength and overall health of the entire
fascial system. During a session, the massage therapist will focus on
releasing tension from the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia
(or connective tissues) with deep, intense strokes.
-
The strokes of
this type of deep tissue
massage are slower and more pressure is applied in order to
warm the muscle tissue and reach the deeper layers of muscle. Although
having a deep connective tissue massage shouldn’t cause you any pain, it’s
often less relaxing and less comfortable then a traditional Swedish massage.
Most practitioners ask that their clients tell them immediately if the
stroke pressure is too intense.
