| Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back pain, and sore shoulders.
Some of the same strokes are used as Swedish massage therapy, but the movement is slower and deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.
When there is chronic muscle pain, tension, or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.
