Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is best for giving attention to certain painful, stiff “trouble spots” in iStock_000017963082_ExtraSmall-1your body. The massage therapist uses slow, deliberate strokes that focus pressure on layers of muscles, tendons, or other tissues deep under your skin. Though less rhythmic than other types of massage, deep tissue massage can be quite therapeutic — relieving chronic patterns of tension and helping with muscle injuries, such as back sprain. It is usually given in combination with Swedish Massage to relax and remove the toxins.
