3 Amazing Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a form of massage therapy that’s growing in popularity thanks to its many benefits. If you experience chronic pain and tension, you’ll want to learn about this practice.
 
But what exactly is it? Deep tissue massage is a form of massage that targets the layers of muscle and connective tissue below the surface — giving you both relaxation and lasting improvements in the way you feel.
 
Some people might fear pain with such a deep massage, but you don’t need to worry. This isn’t like a sports massage, which can sometimes verge into pain. Instead, deep tissue massage offers a relaxing experience with only brief and mild discomfort.
 
No matter what causes your muscle aches or tension, deep tissue massage can help. Let’s dive into the top three benefits of this massage therapy in detail below.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

The benefits you experience from Deep Tissue Massage come from its ability to penetrate into the layers of muscle that we rarely, if ever, reach. This increases blood flow, which brings much-needed oxygen to parts of our body that are lacking it. It’s that lack of oxygen in the muscle that leads to so many problems.
 
The following are the most profound benefits you can expect from this form of massage.

1. Relieves Pain

I have many modalities that relieve pain, and deep tissue massage might be the most powerful. The pressure applied to lower levels of muscle loosens sections that have become tightly bound, and it can even break up scarring.
 
Because it can be specifically targeted, you enjoy softened muscles and improved blood circulation right where you need it. That specialised approach means we can address the exact areas you are concerned about, including:

●      Lower back pain
●      Neck and shoulder tension
●      Hamstring tightness

2. Improves Flexibility

One of the leading causes of inflexibility is muscle stiffness. Deep tissue massage is able to break this up by gently untangling adherent fibres in the muscles and helps to relieve knots. That process means looser, more comfortable muscles.
 
Deep tissue massage gives you greater elasticity in your muscles no matter the cause. And because you receive the personal touch, this can shift to the areas of your body that need help the most when your session begins.

3. Reduces Muscle Tension

Deep tissue massage relaxes your body and can alleviate chronic muscle pain. Combined with added flexibility, this greatly reduces your muscle tension. That also means you can experience less tension overall due to the mind-body connection.
 
This benefit is thanks in part to the release of endorphins — your body’s own feel-good hormones that promote feelings of calm. It also works by eliminating the underlying causes of tension in the first place. That means you receive both immediate and long-term relief.
