It’s time to delve into the world of Deep Tissue massage. If your body has been wracked by chronic pain, this treatment might be right for you. It reduces chronic muscle spasms and back pain, alleviates arthritis symptoms, assists with injury recovery and even helps many women experience less pain during pregnancy and childbirth.

Deep Tissue massage recognizes and treats the various layers of connective tissue or fascia in the body that stabilize and enclose your muscles, joints and other internal organs. Its slow, firm pressure comes to the rescue when your body’s pain or discomfort level requires more concentrated attention. The massage therapist may include motions using not only their hands but also their elbows and, in some cases, forearms. You will feel some pressure but a Deep Tissue massage should not be painful.

Because of the intensive nature of the bodywork in Deep Tissue massage, it may not be for everyone. If your body is sensitive because of pregnancy or a recent childbirth or surgery; you may want to check with your doctor before having this kind of massage. Additionally, if you’re wearing some kind of brace or other appliance as you recover from an injury, speaking with your doctor is important. 

Spanning thousands of years, The Chinese were among the first to embrace Qi (pronounced “chi”) as each person’s life force or energy. Qi was a key indicator of health and happiness. The ancient Chinese understood that applying intensive pressure during bodywork could rid the body of toxin-causing ill health. Even today, Deep Tissue massage is credited with helping the liver function properly. 

This is not a massage to have if you’re in a hurry. You will lay either on your stomach or back while the massage therapist hones in on the problem areas of your body. The regions of the neck, lower back, muscles, shoulders and other stress-prone parts of the body will benefit from the firmer touch and deep, penetrating manipulation techniques. The massage therapist may spend a longer time in various areas of the body applying concentrated, firm pressure that helps release toxins and assists the healing process of muscles and joints that are “out of sync” with the rest of the body.  

As you lay there, you can almost feel the blood freely flowing throughout your core carrying life-giving oxygen and melting away the tension you may not realize you were holding. The anxiety stored in your muscles, joints and tendons will seem to evaporate with the release of the stress-busting hormones, serotonin and oxytocin.
