What Is a Deep Tissue Massage?
While a traditional massage works muscles on the surface, a deep tissue massage reaches deep muscles, tendons and fascia. This technique applies firm pressure and deep strokes to provide relief for sports injuries and strains. Following an injury, scar tissue will form, creating tightness, pain, or difficulty moving. Deep tissue massages reach deep enough to break up scar tissue with consistent pressure. Overall, deep tissue massages aim to promote healing through increased blood flow and reduced inflammation.
Deep Tissue Massage Benefits
Deep tissue massages have a variety of benefits, including:
- Relieves persistent back pain: Back pain doesn't have to be a natural part of aging. Deep tissue massages can relieve chronic back pain, targeting the knots and spasms that make movement difficult.
- Reduces stress and anxiety: Loosening tension and stiffness in the muscles can reduce stress and anxiety, making you feel more relaxed.
- Calming care for cancer patients: Cancer patients endure treatments that can be exhausting and painful. Deep tissue massages help restore their sense of well-being and work to eliminate draining side effects.
- Enhances sleep: Reduced stress can also encourage deeper sleep and proper rest. Increasing blood flow with deep tissue therapy also enhances serotonin and dopamine production.
- Increases immunity: A deep tissue massage can raise your white blood cell count, creating a natural way to boost your immune system.
- Lowers blood pressure: Deep tissue massages have been known to lower blood pressure and improve heart health.
- Lessens exercise recovery time: Athletes participating in deep tissue massage therapy can build their endurance and prevent muscle tears following vigorous exercise.
