Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It's especially helpful for chronic aches and pains, as well as contracted areas such as a stiff neck, upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders.
The strokes are slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain to reach the sub-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). This type of massage is beneficial for releasing chronic muscle tension, improving blood pressure, and reducing stress hormone levels.
