Deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue.
Deep tissue massage uses similar movements and techniques as lighter styles eg Swedish massage. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots.
A quality deep-tissue massage helps to:
-loosen muscle tissues,
-release toxins from muscles, and
-get blood and oxygen circulating properly.
