Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a technique that uses slow and deep strokes and a sustained pressure to target the deeper layers of your muscles and the connective tissues around them. A deep tissue massage is a great choice for anyone who engages in physical activities or those who have an injury or chronic pain.
Muscle tensions that are often caused by fatigue due to repetitive movements, lack of use improper warm up or cool down sessions after exercises are all examples. Tensions in the muscle lead to uneasiness and pain, which decreases the functionality in our daily life. But the good news is, a Deep Tissue Massage helps in relaxing the tensed muscles.
Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
1. Relief from pain: There are many chronic pain conditions that can be eased by deep tissue massage. Pain from sports injuries can be reduced too.
2. Faster healing: There is some evidence that deep tissue massage may aid faster healing, due to increased blood flow and reduced inflammation.
3. Reduced blood pressure: Regular deep tissue massage may help to reduce blood pressure and therefore reduce risk factors for serious disease.
4. Increased flexibility: Reduction in tension can help to increase flexibility, by reducing tightness and range of movement. This is one of the long term benefits of deep tissue massage.
5. Decrease in scar tissue: Scar tissue can cause problems with movement and pain. However, regular deep tissue massage can help to break up scar tissue and increase flexibility.
6. Better sleep: One of the health benefits of deep tissue massage is increased ability to sleep as you’ll feel so relaxed afterwards.
