The fast-paced modern world takes a toll on our physical and psychological health. Constant stress, deadlines, workplace drama, and other daily frustrations don’t just pass through us without doing harm. These experiences will accumulate in our bodies over time, causing a buildup of muscle tension that can exacerbate or even cause physical injury. If you are experiencing chronic pain in the form of muscle aches, stress headaches, or aggravations to old injuries, you may benefit from getting a deep tissue massage.
The Deep Tissue Technique
Deep tissue massage targets the tense muscle adhesions that have built up in your body, seeking to stimulate, release, and heal the physical damage that life has inflicted upon you. At the beginning of a deep tissue massage, you will get a chance to consult with a massage expert about the specifics of your pain and discomfort, and they will devise a specific plan of action designed to relieve your particular issues. During the massage itself, you will receive stimulation in the deep muscle and connective tissue from the therapist’s hands, elbows, forearms, fingertips, and/or knuckles in order to relieve the tense trouble spots in your musculature. You will be asked to relax and breathe deeply during this time, allowing your body to release tension and heal. Afterwards, you will need to hydrate in order to cleanse your body of the toxins that are released by the deep stimulation. The whole process should take about 60 minutes to complete.
Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage specifically targets the underlying physical issues that cause pain, releasing tension in your muscles that may have been building up for years. It can promote deep levels of healing and release, and is an important component of healing for those recovering from surgery or major physical injury.
