Deep Tissue massage is a massage technique that is mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It’s often used to relieve pain associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis or tendonitis. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
Precaution
Deep tissue massage is not recommended for people with acute or long-term mental health problems. If you have a history of injuries or are recovering from surgery, there may be better options, such as Sports Massage.
What to expect
Before treatment, your therapist will provide a full consultation, asking you various questions about your health and lifestyle, to ensure treatment is right for you.
Treatments usually take place on a massage table or couch. The techniques involved will include performance enhancement, injury, trauma and or soft tissue damage prevention, restorative, event related and rehabilitative techniques to improve the condition of the client, as well as early identification and treatment of minor soft tissue overuse conditions. It can also involve improved self-awareness of the sports person and/general member of the public who may have suffered a similar injury to that of an athlete, but in the form of back strain/pain after gardening, for example. The aim is to develop a treatment programme, including evaluation and monitoring, which takes into consideration the client’s age, health, life style, physical capabilities or restrictions and previous exercise/sport history.
Whatever type of massage you are having, your therapist will advise you of what to expect before the treatment begins.
