Deep tissue massage is a form of massage treatment that involves the massage therapist using a certain amount of pressure to relieve the trapped muscle tension and knots throughout your body.

Deep Tissue massages often have a foul reputation about adding on to the pain because of the pressure used! But that’s really not true. Although a deep tissue massage is intense, correct deep tissue massages don’t really leave you sore or painful afterwards.

And, they are extremely beneficial if you’re tired..

Deep tissue massages are for everyone! Be it a marathon runner or a normal person, deep tissue massages focus on relieving high levels of stress and tightening in the body! They work best for relieving the calf, glutes and hamstrings.

Benefits of a neck and back massage

Reduces chronic pain

According to a study conducted in 2014, pain in the posterior calf muscles was reduced by regular deep tissue massages in participants. It also provides relief in conditions such as such as fibromyalgia, tennis elbow or low-back pain.

Improves flexibility and movement

Deep seated pains as a result of ligament tears, muscle or tendon damage are resolved by deep tissue massages. This promotes a flexibility and a wider range of motion in an individual.

A research study involving 263 participants (whose heart rate and blood pressure was measured prior to the session) with muscle strain and spasm underwent deep tissue massage therapy. The reports showed that the heart rates reduced to almost 10 less beats per minute with a reduction is systolic and diastolic pressure as well.
