Deep Tissue

Deep tissue massage focuses on troublesome spots on the body that are painful. The spots are muscle knots, or myofascial trigger points, which are specific areas of tension within the muscle fiber. Slow, firm, strokes target the deep tissues. Massage aims to reach more deeply buried layers of muscle and connective tissue. Knots can be sore, and deep tissue massage aims to relieve them and provide pain relief. This technique is effective for this purpose.
