Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage shares similarities with Swedish massage but involves slow, firm pressure to target muscle tension more effectively. This technique focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia—the protective layer that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints.
The benefits of deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage can enhance circulation, alleviate minor aches and pains, improve range of motion, and reduce inflammation. Research published in the *Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine* found that deep tissue massage significantly lowered blood pressure after just one session. If you're recovering from an old injury or managing minor discomfort, consider discussing deep tissue massage with your therapist to incorporate it into your next session.
