Deep Tissue / Clinical Massage
Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue massage is a modality derived from Swedish massage, but it focuses on working the deep muscles, tendons, and ligaments (to a lesser extent). The pressure will be more intense and perhaps longer to break down adhesions between the muscles and release lactic acid and waste chemicals trapped between the muscle fibers. These are some of the causes of trigger point development. It is also a more individualized type of massage, as the therapist will work specifically on chronic areas of tension, muscle tightness, and contractures
