Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a therapy used to treat musculoskeletal disorders, such as strains and sports traumas. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow deep strokes to target your tissues and muscles. It helps to breakdown scar tissue after an injury and reduces tension in muscles and tissues.

Deep tissue massage can be more effective at reducing persistent chronic pain than medications or other medical measures. Muscular pressure caused when a patient is experiencing chronic pain can also be reduced by doing a deep tissue massage.

High levels of stress cause the body to produce excess cortisol; this can be a major cause of many health problems. A deep tissue massage can reduce these cortisol levels and increase oxytocin levels.

Deep tissues are often called therapeutic tissues containing chemicals used on human nerves as well as to support muscle relaxation. These hormones cause overall happiness, trust, and relationship building.

Deep tissue massage therapy is also used to cure sports-related injuries. Several athletes integrate this in their recovery protocol. It helps to slow down sore muscles and prevent further injury. Deep tissue massage can help stretch tight or twisted muscles and facilitate the movement of toxins from your muscles.
