Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is particularly beneficial for those with chronic muscle tension or injury, as well as those who engage in heavy physical activity or have postural issues.

During a deep tissue massage, usually slow strokes and deep pressure are used to target specific areas of tension and discomfort. This technique helps to break up scar tissue, release muscle knots, and improve blood circulation, which reduces inflammation and promotes healing.
