‘Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that uses slow, deep pressure to treat chronic muscle pain and tension. It is often used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as injuries, strains, and repetitive strain injuries. The slow, deep pressure targets the deep layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia to relieve chronic pain. It can help relieve pain and stiffness in muscles, help restore normal movement and break up adhesions that can limit movement, help reduce inflammation and promote faster healing, relieve stress and promote relaxation. The therapist will use their fingers, thumbs, or elbows to apply pressure. The massage focuses on areas of tension and pain, and the strokes are slow and deep, and the pressure is direct or frictional.
