A Deep Tissue massage works from general to specific. Smooth, gentle strokes warm up the skin and surface tissues, allowing the deeper muscles to be worked easily and comfortably. Any specific areas of tension or pain are addressed and then connected to the rest of the body.
Deep Tissue massage works best when applied directly to the skin. Clients are asked to privately undress to their level of comfort, and are fully draped with a sheet. Only the area being worked on will be undraped.
Deep Tissue massage can help relieve the following conditions:
- High blood pressure
- Chronic pain
- Muscle soreness, stiffness, and knots
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Postural problems
- Nerve compression
- Inflammation
