Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic technique focusing on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is designed to relieve chronic muscle tension, alleviate pain and improve mobility by targeting the underlying structures within the body. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with persistent pain or injuries, as it works to release tight and knotted muscles.

Unlike other forms of massage that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massage uses slow and deliberate strokes and firm pressure. It often involves addressing specific areas of tension, known as trigger points. Pressure applied directly to these releases knots.

Physical benefits include relief from chronic pain, improved mobility, tension reduction, enhanced recovery from injury, lower blood pressure, improvement in posture and reduction in muscular spasms.

Mental health benefits include reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and increasing dopamine and serotonin levels which improve your mood.
