How Deep Tissue Massage Works

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that focuses on the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. It aims to release tension in these tissues, and deep muscle knots, which can cause pain and inflammation. It is a more intense massage than Swedish massage, and the massage therapist uses their hands, fingers, elbows, forearms or knees to apply deep pressure to the areas that need it. This can help to break up scar tissue and adhesions and improve blood circulation and lymph drainage.
