Deep Tissue Massage
This technique involves applying firm pressure to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage can help relieve chronic muscle tension, break up scar tissue, and improve mobility.
A deep tissue massage is a form of massage that’s most often used in the treatment of injuries. If you have a sprain or swelling in your muscles then deep tissue massage can help increase the amount of circulation so that the swelling goes down and the injury heals faster.
Your massage therapist will do this by applying a large amount of pressure to the sore area.
It’s a slow form of massage and the strokes will be firm and long in order to reach the inner part of your muscle.
If any scar tissue has formed around the injured area then the firm pressure of a deep tissue massage can help break this scar tissue up so that the muscle can heal.
