Giving attention to "trouble spots" in your body

Giving attention to "trouble spots" in your body

Date: 2019-10-25

The term deep tissue massage can sound intimidating, especially if you don't know what's involved.

This treatment targets the deeper layers of muscle and surrounding connective tissues, and can assist with a range of conditions and pains. However, the experience can be very different to what you might imagine when you think about massages.

Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but it goes farther. Deep tissue massage targets the inner layers of your muscles, tendons, and fascia (dense connective tissue). Deep tissue massage uses many of the same stroking and kneading movements as Swedish massage, but there is far more pressure. Deep tissue massage is best for giving attention to certain painful, stiff "trouble spots" in your body. The massage therapist uses slow, deliberate strokes that focus pressure on layers of muscles, tendons, or other tissues deep under your skin. Though less rhythmic than other types of massage, deep tissue massage may be therapeutic Ñ relieving chronic patterns of tension and helping with muscle injuries, such as back sprain.

Knowing that your deep tissue massage might cause some pain can understandably make you nervous. However, try to relax.

Bear in mind that the temporary soreness that can come during this therapy is all working to help alleviate the longer term discomfort that you've been experiencing. There are many benefits of deep tissues massages, especially when it comes to chronic pain.

Tensing up during the massage will also make it more difficult for your therapist to work, meaning it will be less likely that the therapy achieves the results you're hoping for.

Massage helps stimulate the circulation of blood and the lymphatic system inside your body. This means bringing important nutrients and oxygen to your muscles, as well as assisting with cleansing cells of toxins. Call Desi Girl to book your deep tissue massage.
