Deep tissue massage is more than just an intense relaxing massage. It is a treatment that uses intense movements with stronger pressure to reach the deep layers of the muscle and fascia, an intermediate connective tissue that surrounds the muscles.
If you have muscle tension due to stress and pain or need to recover from a sports injury, this is your treatment.
What is it used for?
It is used to break up knots, scar tissue and muscle adhesions.
These cause pain, inflammation, fluid retention and toxins.
Thanks to this technique we can alleviate chronic pain processes and improve the quality of life of patients.
What are its benefits?
The benefits of deep tissue massage are multiple for physical and mental health.
Relieves stress
A massage is generally an excellent way to relax both the body and the mind. Deep massage, by reaching the deep layers of the muscle, improves elasticity, reduces inflammation and lowers the heart rate.
This influences a decrease in the hormones produced by stress and increases positive hormones such as dopamine, alleviating and improving all symptoms derived from stress.
Reduces chronic pain
Chronic pain caused by muscle tension can be relieved by deep tissue massage, which is capable of releasing groups of tissue that may be tense or atrophied.
In this way deep tissue massage is good for:
- Back pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Cervical stiffness
There are studies showing that deep tissue massage can be as effective or more effective for chronic pain than medication and other much more aggressive treatments.
Muscle rehabilitation
If you are injured, a deep tissue massage is a good alternative or complementary treatment.
Many athletes also incorporate deep tissue massage into their recovery routines to prevent injuries and fatigue or muscle pain resulting from their training or competitions.
Schedule your massage
Although the results are noticeable from the first appointment, the best way to obtain long-lasting results or to get the most out of your treatment is to have several appointments scheduled with enough space between them so that your muscles can rest.
Although this massage does not have any harmful side effects, you may feel tired after your session due to the intensity of the session.
Whether you are an athlete or not, deep tissue massage has many benefits that will help you improve your quality of life.
