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.

How a Deep Tissue Massage Will Help Your Muscles

The deep tissue massage technique is used mostly to treat musculoskeletal issues such as sports injuries and strains. Deep tissue massage techniques include using deep, slow strokes while applying sustained pressure to target your muscles' inner layers and connective tissues.

Deep tissue massage can also promote quicker healing by reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow. What Happens During a Deep Tissue Massage? Before starting your massage, the massage therapist will ask about any problem areas, pain, or injuries. A deep tissue massage can involve the whole body or focus on one particular area.
