DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Deep Tissue Massage uses an invigorating technique to detect stiff or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature then slowly working into the deep layers of muscle tissue. Deep Tissue Massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes, direct deep pressure and friction applied on the contracted areas, either following or going across the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. Using the deep slow long strokes it helps lengthen the muscle fibers, to restore balance, and to reestablish structural and functional integrity to the greatest degree possible for the client. Deep Tissue Massage increases range of motion and restores economy of motion.
