A Deep Tissue Massage targets specific areas and adhesions in the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. The therapist treats chronic tight and painful muscles, repetitive strain problems, injuries and even postural issues by using slow, deliberate strokes or friction across the grain of the muscle. While normally more intense that a Swedish Massage, this technique does not have to be painful to be effective. Let your therapist know immediately if you are experiencing pain that doesn't feel normal so they can make sure we don't cause injury to you.
