What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep massage can break muscular adhesions which can lead to poor circulation, a lack of mobility and swelling. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. In comparison to Swedish massage deep tissue massage is certainly more directly involved in treating physical problems.

This type of massage is useful for treating medical conditions such as repetitive strain injury, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and fibromyalgia. It is also useful in treating sports injuries, postural imbalances and muscle spasms.

A deep massage therapist usually gives out stretching and strengthening exercises which can be used in conjunction with regular massage treatments in order for you to be able to recover and regain your former strength and flexibility.

If you feel have a physical complaint rather than emotional then deep massage is certainly for you. If your reason for having massage isemotional then body massage and Swedish massage are likely to be the most useful massage types for you, otherwise you need to book a deep massage.
