Deep Tissue Release, focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Unlike Relaxation Massage Therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, where there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesion's bands of painful, rigid tissue in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Deep tissue release massage works by physically breaking down adhesions. Adhesion's can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. To do this the massage therapist uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles to relieve pain and restore normal movement.
