What
is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique
that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle
tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns
of tension in the body through slow strokes
and deep finger pressure on the contracted
areas, either following or going across the
fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia. 
Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic
muscle tension through slower strokes and
more direct deep pressure or friction applied
across the grain of the muscles not with the
grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break
up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue
massage usually focuses on more specific areas
and may cause some soreness during or right
after the massage. However, if the massage
is done correctly you should feel better than
ever within a day or two.
Why get a Deep Tissue Massage?
It feels good and it is beneficial to your
health. When muscles are stressed, they block
oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation
that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue.
A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle
tissues, release toxins from muscles and get
blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because
many toxins are released, it's important to
drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue
session to help eliminate these toxins from
the body.
What is the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage?
The purpose is to "unstick" the
fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held
patterns of tension, removing toxins, while
relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both
corrective and therapeutic.
