Massage therapy in the comfort of your own home or office
eep tissue is a form of massage that focuses on releasing the deeper myofascial restrictions of the deeper muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the body. Also, sometimes referred to as myofascial release, it is used by many massage therapists, physical therapists, and osteopaths.
Deep tissue massage is a specific massage, which employs techniques to work below,superficial connective tissue with the intent of breaking up old structural patterns and allowing the free flow of nutrients and oxygen to blood. It also requires the therapist to apply a considerable amount of pressure which in some cases may cause some discomfort to the client; however, the therapist will always work within the comfort zone of the client.
The therapist uses movements to release chronic muscle tension through slow and deep strokes, with more direct pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. The therapist will detect restricted, stiff, knotted, or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature and slowly working into these deep layers of muscle tissue. Specific hand positions and strokes are then used to respond to various tissue qualities
and muscle attachments. Techniques employing breath and movement are also used for releasing muscular tightness.
