What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Have you ever thought how a Swedish massage with harder and deeper strokes would feel? A deep tissue massage would be that. It's a type of massage that focuses on realigning deep muscle and connective tissue layers. It's particularly useful for treating chronic aches and pains and for people who engage in strenuous physical activity on a regular basis, such as athletes. Deep tissue massage uses the same strokes as Swedish massage but applies additional pressure to the deep layers of muscles to relieve muscle knots, enhance circulation and increase range of motion.
