Deep Tissue
Massage
Techniques which utilize deep
tissue/deep muscle massage are administered to affect
the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. These
techniques require more advanced training and a more
thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. The
muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform
deep tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles
prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper
musculature. It helps with chronic muscular pain and
injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related
pain caused by arthritis and tendinitis. It is generally
integrated with other massage techniques.
