DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

myotherapy healing massage clinic - deep tissue

Deep tissue work creates micro-tears in the fascia, which fill with elastic and collagen in about three days, creating muscles that are more flexible, supple and have a greater range of motion. Deep Tissue work shouldn’t be painful; a well trained therapist will work very slowly, within the client’s tolerance, however it can often result in a little soreness after.

BENEFITS:

  • Relief of chronic pain

  • Improvement of posture

  • Improvement of range of motion

  • Improvement with injury rehabilitation

  • Reduction of inflammation disorder such as arthritis

  • Breaking up and eventually erasing scar tissue

  • Increase in serotonin production, the hormone that promotes happiness and good feelings

  • Reduction in stress

Deep Tissue Massage is commonly misunderstood modality. It gets the assumption that “Deep Tissue” means “Deep Pressure”. But there’s so much more to it! Similar to Swedish Massage, the client will lie on a massage table and remain modestly draped by the therapist. Deep Tissue focuses on stretching FASCIA, a three dimensional web of connective tissue that surrounds and supports all the muscles, bones and organs. The therapist will work layer by layer through connective tissue and muscles down to the deepest accessible layers of muscle.

GREAT MODALITY FOR PEOPLE WHO:

Suffer from chronic pain such as Fibromyalgia, Plantar Fascilitis, Tennis Elbow, Arthritis, etc

Suffer from limited range of motion due to injury or scar tissue buildup

Suffer from tight, stiff or painful muscles due to bad or repetitive posture

Require injury rehabilitation
