What To Expect FrOm a Deep Tissue Massage
Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes to allow time for addressing deeper muscle layers, larger muscle group or full body
Includes slow, firm strokes and deep finger pressure, including techniques such as stripping (deep, gliding pressure along the length of muscle fibres), trigger point therapy (sustained pressure on specific points), and myofascial release (targeting connective tissue).
Research indicates that deep tissue massage can be effective in reducing chronic pain, particularly in conditions like lower back pain and fibromyalgia. Studies have shown it may help decrease blood pressure and heart rate, promoting relaxation and stress reduction. Evidence also suggests that deep tissue massage can increase range of motion and reduce the formation of excessive scar tissue following injuries.
