Deep Tissue is a type of massage that uses slow, firm pressure to target the deeper structures of muscle and fascia to release chronic muscle tension and adhesions, which can cause inflammation, limited movement and pain. Deep tissue massage is strategic in its application and can be an integral part of any maintenance program. It is most beneficial to athletes, individuals recovering from a physical injury or anyone who suffers from issues such as bad posture, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic pain, fibromyalgia or limited mobility.
