Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage (DTM) helps to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body and to restore structural alignment & balance by removing chronic tensions that are formed by deep muscular tension. This tension inhibits postural ease & movement and may be the result of injury, bad posture or stress. DTM can help break down adhesions & loosen connective tissue. It can be used for a full body session, or for muscle-specific work. The benefits of deep tissue include relief of long term pain, tension or muscles spasms, and it can improve posture.  DTM is appropriate and helpful for post sporting event/marathons.

When clients request Deep Tissue Massage, some presume that one has to get worked on "deeply" or with pain, to experience a DTM treatment. The term "Deep Tissue" basically means that the bodywork techniques are aimed at the deeper tissues of the body. It does NOT have to be painful & invasive. This therapy requires good communication between client & therapist, to determine the level of pressure that is comfortable to the client.  The massage therapist is trained to work with great sensitivity and patience, and has extensive knowledge of the technique by having taken courses in a certified massage school.

Clients should not be alarmed if some slight bruising occurs. Bruising may be normal for some individuals after the first few massage sessions. Clients may even feel sore for a day or two, like after a good exercise work out. Drinking plenty of water & soaking in a warm Epsom salts bath can help flush toxins from the body, & reduce the muscle tenderness.
