As the name suggests, deep layers of muscle and the surrounding tissue are targeted with the aim of lengthening and relaxing deep tissue. This results in an intense treatment, as blood and nutrients are carried to your muscles, helping to eliminate toxins.

Deep Tissue massage is often used to treat skeletomuscular issues such as sprains and sports injuries. It is effective in reducing inflammation and pain as well as breaking up scar tissue. Combined with promoting circulation to blocked or injured areas, deep tissue massage can help promote faster healing from skeletomuscular injuries.

If you’re experiencing chronic pain or have a sports injury, you need to pay special attention now: Studies have shown deep tissue massage significantly reduced pain for males with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis when compared to therapeutic massage. Additionally, deep tissue massage has been found to aid greatly in the recovery of ankle injuries.
