*Billed as Registered Massage Therapy* Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. By using slow, firm strokes and deep pressure, it aims to break down knots and adhesions in muscles and improve blood flow and range of motion. Unlike a relaxation massage, deep tissue massage may cause slight discomfort. You may be sore after the session, but the benefits it offers will make you do it all over again. Deep tissue massage employs several techniques including direct pressure with the therapist's hands, fingers, forearms, or elbows; slow strokes to work into the deeper layers of tissue; and friction and stretching to release tension and improve range of motion. These techniques combined create a powerful therapy to alleviate muscle pain and tension.
