Deep Tissue Massage

DEEP-TISSUE MASSAGE

Deep-tissue massage consists of slower strokes and more pressure. The therapist targets deeper muscle groups after first warming the soft tissues.
Clients frequently find deep-tissue massage less comfortable, and not necessarily more effective, unless used properly. Depending on the goals of the massage session, simply using more pressure will not improve the results.

Therapists also use deep-tissue massage to help break up scar tissue. Most of the strokes, however, remain fundamentally the same as with more superficial Swedish massage, used for relaxation.

Many other western massage techniques rely heavy on deep-tissue work: These include:

Connective Tissue Massage;
Neuromuscular Techniques; and,
Trigger Point Therapy.
