What is a Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is intended to be a more "profound" massage. This luxurious, medium to deep pressure massage aims to provide deep relaxation and relief of general muscle tension, aches and pains while reducing everyday stress.
How does a Deep Tissue Massage Work?
Many conditions may benefit from Deep Tissue Massage as it may help relieve problems in deeper muscles than those which a Swedish or traditional massage would not impact.
Deep Tissue massage should NOT hurt, although sometimes it can be somewhat uncomfortable. The goal is to not exceed the “hurts-so-good” limit. Longer, slower, and more deeply relaxing strokes are used to help lengthen, relax and relieve sore muscles, increase blood flow, and promote deeper relaxation and an improved sense of well-being.
What are the Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage?
The combination of hot and cold stones encourages your body to detox and heal by increasing your lymphatic flow and encouraging your body to remove waste products.
The deep tissue massage offers numerous benefits, including:
- Relieving chronic muscle tension
- Alleviating pain and discomfort
- Improving flexibility and mobility
- Enhancing circulation
- Promoting overall wellness
