About deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve pain in specific areas of the body. It uses firm pressure tailored to your needs and the condition of your muscles. This deeply relaxing massage is perfect for anyone looking to release stress or recover after a long hike. It helps break down and eliminate scar tissue.
Deep tissue massage typically focuses on targeted areas and may cause some discomfort during or after the session. However, when performed correctly, it should leave you feeling better than ever within a day or two.
In this type of massage, maintaining steady pressure on the muscles is essential. The intensity is carefully adjusted based on your body’s condition.
Benefits of deep tissue massage
- Muscle pain and recovery: Perfect for athletes or those who engage in intense physical activity, helping with muscle recovery by releasing accumulated tension.
- Toxin elimination: Promotes the removal of toxins from the body.
- Improved blood circulation: Enhances blood flow noticeably.
- Stress relief: Deep tissue massage can lower stress hormones and stimulate the release of “feel-good” hormones, leaving you deeply relaxed.
- Energy renewal: Helps restore energy levels.
- Chronic pain relief: Alleviates pain by breaking down adhesions (bands of stiff, painful tissue) that can restrict circulation and cause inflammation.
Contraindications
This therapeutic massage is not recommended for:
- Pregnant women
- Children
- Individuals with anorexia
- People with varicose veins, open wounds, arrhythmias, or high blood pressure
- Those with liver or kidney disorders
- Individuals with epilepsy, heart conditions, diabetes, osteoporosis, migraines, chronic muscle fatigue, or multiple sclerosis
What to expect from deep tissue massage
During a deep tissue massage, the therapist will:
- Start with lighter pressure to warm up the muscles.
- Gradually apply more pressure, targeting specific areas using their hands, knuckles, or even elbows for maximum relief.
- Focus on problem areas such as the neck, shoulders, lower back, and legs, often using techniques like friction and kneading to loosen muscle fibers.
Aftercare Tips
After a deep tissue massage session, you may experience some soreness, similar to what you feel after exercise. To reduce muscle stiffness and enhance the benefits of the massage:
- Stay well-hydrated.
- Do gentle stretches.
- Avoid strenuous activity for the rest of the day to allow your body to fully recover.
