Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a generic, or “umbrella” term describing a modality, or combination of modalities, that aims to relieve muscular tension. Because the goal is to decrease pain and increase mobility of muscles, tendons, and joints, the pressure is greater and more focused than a typical Swedish or relaxation massage. It is a highly useful method for releasing muscular stress due to malalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries.
Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is critical to ensure that the work does not exceed your comfort threshold. Keep in mind that soreness may occur after treatment. This is normal, and should subside within a couple of days.
