Will a Deep Tissue Massage Help My Chronic Pain?

 A deep tissue massage is just that, a massage that targets the deep connective tissues and muscles to help people with tight muscles or “knots” that cause pain.  A deep tissue massage utilizes different massage techniques than other types of massage like a Swedish massage.  Your massage therapist will begin by warming up your muscles with light pressure and familiar massage techniques.

Once your muscles are warmed and you are more relaxed, your massage therapist will begin to use specific deep tissue massage techniques called stripping.  This involves using deep pressure and gliding along your muscle fibers while applying firm pressure with elbows, forearms, knuckles, or thumbs.  Friction is also applied across the grain of your muscles which helps to release adhesions and realign tissue fibers.
