Deep tissue massage is a modality that accesses deeper, more specific layers of muscle tissue. Deep tissue massage is a great choice for someone who experiences muscle pain or decreased range of motion. This pain can be a result of repetitive movements, poor posture, prolonged sitting/specific positions, strain on muscles from working out, and more.
A common misconception of deep tissue therapy is that it must be painful, and that is simply not true. Deep tissue therapy is effective without it having to be painful. Many people feel minor discomfort in their problem areas but should NEVER cause pain that someone must grit your teeth or hold your breath through. Too much pressure can have adverse effects on your muscles and nervous system.
