Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures
of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many
of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will
generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, I will work to release
chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")
Will A Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?
It shouldn't hurt, but it's likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish
massage. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you.
How Fast Will I Get Results With A Deep Tissue Massage?
It's important to be realistic about what one massage can achieve. Many people ask
for more pressure, thinking that if I just push hard enough, they can get rid of all their knots in
an hour. This just won't happen. In fact, undoing chronic knots and tension built up over a lifetime
is best achieved with an integrated program that includes exercise, working on your posture and
ways of moving, relaxation techniques and a regular program of massage.
