Deep tissue massage therapy is an advanced form of massage therapy using firm, yet relaxing, pressure and slow, circular movements to massage deep into the muscles and connective tissues, using a variety of different hand positions, as well as occasional touch with the fingertips. It utilizes techniques such as friction, suction, and infrared energy work to release blockages and restore the body’s natural healing power. It can improve circulation and lymphatic function, as well as facilitate the recovery of damaged tissue. It can also relieve pain and reduce swelling. It has been used to successfully treat many types of injuries, including strains, sprains, ligament tears, herniated discs, neck and back pain, as well as sports injuries.
Studies have shown that deep tissue massage therapy can be effective in the treatment of chronic back pain, especially for those patients who have not responded to other treatments. In addition, it has been proven effective in the treatment of other painful conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps, shingles, menopause and PMS. Additionally, it is an effective treatment for painful tennis elbow and tendinitis. It can even help to decrease lower back pain, arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The deep tissue massage has been found to be very effective in the relief of pain, improved mobility, and healing. Its soothing, rejuvenating and pain-relieving properties are what make it such a popular treatment for patients seeking relief from chronic and recurring pain. This therapy also provides relief from stress, anxiety, and depression, which can be effective in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, fibromyalgia, and fibromyalgia/chronic exhaustion syndrome.
