Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage helps release of constrictions in muscles and surrounding connective tissue. This work brings increased blood flow, oxygen supply and energy to previously congested areas. Some client's report this work is intense but with careful intention and attention they feel great relief. Deep Tissue Massage works with connective tissues called fascia. Fascia consists of thin layers of flexible supportive tissues that surround each muscle, organ and also surround each muscle fiber. Client's who experience chronically tight muscle areas may have fascial constrictions somewhere in their body. The goal of Deep Tissue work is to sink, not push, into the areas identified as constricted for their release. In an hour session a couple areas of focus are typically treated rather than the whole body. Deep tissue massage also aids in the reduction of scar tissue and is frequently used in conjunction with Swedish strokes.
