Deep Tissue Massage
The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep tissue massage, otherwise tight surface muscles prevent the practitioner from reaching deeper musculature.
This is a technique that is administered to affect the sub-layer of musculature and fascia. It can help with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.
