Massage therapy can change the quality of your life by helping you manage your pain and heal your muscle and joint injuries. Massage therapy is one of the oldest, least invasive forms of therapy. It works on the soft tissues and joints of the body to decrees pain and increase range of motion by improving muscle tone, decreasing scar tissue, reducing knots and elevating trigger points. Massage also stimulates circulatory system and assists the lymphatic system to improving your immune system and overall health.

What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep Tissue massage is similar to the most common type of massage, Swedish massage, in that your therapist uses long, smooth and kneading strokes to achieve healing changes in the body. The two forms of massage differ in that Deep Tissue massage aims to affect the deeper structures of the body and have a deeper level of healing. Deep Tissue massage is very effective in treating chronic muscle and connective tissue injuries.
In order to access deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body your Massage Therapist needs to use a more pressure than most massage therapist. In order to achieve greater pressure he or she needs to be skilled in using his/her forearms, elbows and knuckles to perform the massage techniques.
Deep Tissue massage provides a more therapeutic effect by working more than just superficial layers in the body. Deep Tissue massage gets right down to the core of your muscular system to remove chronic tension, scar tissue and adhesions between muscles and connective tissue, helping you get the relief you need faster.
