What is Deep Tissue Massage?

I believe in the power of healing through deep tissue massage, which is one of the reasons I decided to go into the practice as a career. If you have chronic pain or stiffness in bodily areas that contract, such as your neck, upper or lower back, shoulders or legs, you would be a good candidate for deep tissue massage in Hastings FL at my office. Deep massage works through a series of strokes that involve deep pressure.

Regular massage therapy can help to relieve knots in the muscles as well as scar tissue, which can bring a great deal of relief if you suffer from chronic pain and have limited range of motion or inflammation. Deep massage can improve your range of motion, ease pain and even increase blood circulation to the affected area.

When I begin a deep tissue massage, you can expect light pressure that is meant to be a warmup to prepare your muscles for the deeper technique. Stripping a the deep and gliding pressure applied as I use my knuckles, thumbs, elbows and forearms during this part of the massage. Friction is greater pressure that I apply along the grain of a muscle to restore alignment to tissue fibers and to release adhesions, bands of rigid tissue that are painful.

Physical and Mental Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

There are a number of benefits you can enjoy from deep massage. These are both physical and mental in addition to focusing on a specific problem like chronic pain or rehabilitation for an injury.

• Stress Relief: Can ease stress that comes about as a result of everyday demands from work and home life.
• Eases Pain: Can relieve or reduce pain. When you receive massages and perform certain stretching exercises, you can experience relief from conditions such as fibromyalgia, lower back pain, plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow.
• Increases Movement: When you have an injury that hasn’t healed properly, such as a rotator cuff tear, deep tissue massage can help to increase or restore your range of movement. It can help to relief damaged muscles, tendons and ligaments and make it easier for you to move the body part without pain.
• Lower Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: Studies have shown that people who receive deep tissue massage can lower their heart rate and blood pressure to healthier levels.
