Deep Tissue Massage is used to target knots and release chronic muscle tension & pain as well as assists in injury rehabilitation. It is also beneficial for reducing inflammation and to help eliminate scar tissue. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia.

Deep Tissue is a massage using slower strokes, thumbs, forearms, and elbows to help release the chronic patterns of the muscular tension. Unlike Swedish (Relaxation) Massage where the strokes go with the muscle fibers, Deep Tissue also uses strokes across muscle fibers, i.e. cross fiber friction where necessary. The more intense movements and techniques such as deeper finger & forearm / elbow pressure may be slightly uncomfortable and can cause some soreness that lasts a day or two before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief. This treatment requires some of your participation and communication to indicate the presence and intensity of pain and discomfort and will be performed according to your comfort level for best results and relief.
