Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage techniques are used to treat the musculoskeletal system conditions. During the massage, the practitioner applies continuous pressure with slow, deep strokes to reach the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is for this reason that deep muscle massage is often recommended for people suffering from muscle pain and fatigue. This massage technique stimulates blood circulation in order to relax the muscles and the hyperirritable spots, also known as trigger points.

Deep muscle massage will help:

• In the rehabilitation process
• Relax after strenuous exercise
• Reduce stress
• Reduce muscle pain or tension
• Reduce blood pressure and heart rate
• More efficient and faster recovery of muscle strains

What is the difference between deep tissue massage and sports massage?

Deep tissue massage can help relieve muscle tension and stress. This massage technique is also used to relieve painful trigger points in the muscles and improve blood circulation. This massage is usually performed as a full-body massage, whereas sports massage focuses more on a specific area of the body in need of rehabilitation or relaxation using a localized massage technique for one body segment.
