Deep Tissue Massage

As our bodies deal with stress, trauma, and toxins, it is fairly easy to develop physical holding patterns and eventually the stress-tension-pain cycle. Our body conforms to an ill pattern that may feel comfortable for a while but can lead to a world of chronic pain or discomfort over time. Time spent in these patterns causes myofascial binding, deep tissue irritation, and ultimately trigger points and bone misalignment. Once this point is reached, nerves can become irritated. The nerves fire and cause even more tension in the muscles and trigger additional pain. Deep tissue therapy concentrates on all of these points. Through steady, slow, and deep pressure, surrounding soft tissue is relaxed to the point that it will release your pains significantly.

What’s a Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is the most frequently requested therapy session. It is a relaxing, nurturing, and therapeutic massage performed using varied pressure determined by individual preference and therapist skill. Specific areas of muscle tension are addressed with firm pressure and advanced techniques. A client may choose a full-body session or a session that focuses specifically on areas of muscle tension.

What to Expect?

Deep tissue massage is an unconventional technique that helps realign your muscle tissues and prevents chronic aches and tightness. The experienced therapist at Advanced Health Solutions commences with delicate pressure to warm up the muscles, progressing into firm pressure, allowing for improved blood circulation and relieving tensions. This soothing therapy focuses on complete body rejuvenation by applying pressure on the deepest layers of muscle tissues. It relieves small and newer areas of muscular tension, breaking up adhesion in the connective tissue (or fascia) surrounding your muscles, joints, and bones.

Regular therapeutic massages combined with chiropractic care can heal sore and tired muscles and lower the likelihood of building general muscle tension, strains, and sprains. For better understanding, your therapist may be able to explain what’s suitable for you and what’s not.

Who Isn’t Suitable For A Deep Tissue Massage?

While deep tissue massage is entirely safe, you should discuss any issues with the therapist. Experts don’t suggest a deep tissue massage if you’re pregnant (we do offer prenatal massages at Associated Health Solutions), have a bleeding disorder, are using blood thinners, have blood clots, have been diagnosed with cancer, or undergoing radiation therapy or chemo. People with skin infections, open wounds, and bone fractures must also avoid the treatment so as to not worsen the existing conditions.

Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage

People prefer a deep tissue massage to relieve inflammation, chronic pains, stiffness, lower stress, and reduce tension in the neck, back (upper and lower), and shoulders. You can also treat the symptoms of arthritis, sleep problems, anxiety, headaches, twisted muscles, blood pressure, athletic injuries, and more. The massage removes toxins from the body pumping more blood and sending critical nutrients to the impacted areas promoting faster healing. It basically frees your mind and body from stress. It has also shown promising results in breaking up scar tissues to encourage recovery from older injuries and stubborn muscular tension.

Qualified and experienced chiropractors suggest getting a deep tissue massage before adjustments. It relaxes taut muscles and leads to a more comfortable and effective adjustment. Additionally, you can reverse restricted mobility, pains, aches, and stiffness with time and for much longer.
