Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).

Deep tissue massage is best suited for:

* athletes
* runners
* people with injuries

It can also work for people with chronic pain conditions such as:

* fibromyalgia
* lower back pain

Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your:

* muscles
* tendons
* fascia, or dense connective tissue

Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there’s far more pressure.
