Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a form of massage that deals with the deeper layers of tissue within the body. When muscles are stressed they block oxygen and nutrients which can eventually lead to inflammation and the build up of toxins. Deep tissue massage works to loosen the tissue of the muscle which, in turn, releases toxins and allows the muscles to resume proper balance as well as normal blood and oxygen circulation.

Deep tissue massage is very beneficial to a healthy lifestyle. Stress and tension are the leading factors that cause muscles to block nutrients and oxygen. Using slower strokes and deeper finger pressure, Deep tissue massage works to release patterns of tension within the body.

By either going across, or following the fibers of the muscles and tendons, deep tissue massage breaks up and eliminates scar tissue and increases circulation to injured and aged areas of the body that no longer receive adequate blood flow. This form of massage is beneficial to the construction of a healthier lifestyle because the defusing of the muscles and the release of toxins can be both curative and therapeutic.
