What is Deep Tissue Massage Therapy?
Deep tissue massage therapy is not limited to deep stroke or high-pressure Swedish massage. Deep tissue massages use strong pressure and gentle pulse to massage the muscles and tendons, which are the connective tissue around your muscles.
Deep tissue massages are used to break down scar tissue and break muscle joints (the “knots” we feel in our muscles are muscle cramps, which are strong and painful muscle tissue bands). These joints can block our blood flow and cause pain and swelling.
When you start massaging, your massage therapist will start with a simple push to warm up your muscles and then work harder.
Common techniques used in deep tissue massage therapy include stretching, which involves deep pressure and friction along the length of your muscle fibers, which can break down adhesives on your muscles and tighten tissue fibers.
What are the benefits?
Deep tissue massage is beneficial for both physical and mental health. Any massage has many benefits for the recipient, making it an easy way to relax and treat medical issues.
Anxiety relief
Deep tissue massage is an excellent stress reliever. If you are experiencing stress at home or at work, getting a massage is a great way to relax and unwind for a long time.
Massage helps reduce cortisol levels and increase oxytocin levels, a hormone that relaxes and calms the body.
It can also help with physical symptoms such as tight muscles and shoulders and anxiety headaches. Deep tissue massage helps to solve these problems and relax your body.
Reduces pain
There are a number of conditions that can be treated with deep tissue massage. Chronic lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and stiffness can all be treated with massage.
Deep tissue massage can often reduce muscle tension caused by chronic pain because it hurts the narrower tissues and causes pain.
Studies show that deep tissue massage is more effective in relieving chronic pain than in medicine or other treatments.
It lowers blood pressure and heart rate
Deep tissue massage reduces stress and tension, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Massage has a positive effect on the systolic, diastolic, and arteries. Massage increases the production of serotonin, which promotes good mood and happiness.
The scar breaks the tissue and makes movement easier
People with scarring often report chronic pain and stiffness.
Regular access to deep tissue massages helps to break down scar tissue by improving lymphatic circulation and fluid flow, improving flexibility and mobility around scar tissue.
Many people recovering from surgery are encouraged to have a deep tissue massage to reduce scar tissue.
Reduces the symptoms of arthritis
Deep tissue massage therapy can be used to treat a variety of arthritis symptoms, such as pain, stiffness, joint stiffness, and insomnia.
Moderate pressure reduces arthritis pain and relieves stress, making it easier for people with arthritis to move. It can also help with sleep problems by relieving the pain that arthritis sufferers wake up at night.
Rejuvenates damaged muscles
If there are injured muscles, a deep tissue massage can help tighten tight or twisted muscles and facilitate the movement of toxins from your muscles.
Deep tissue massage therapy is often used to treat sports-related injuries. Many athletes are incorporating deep tissue massage into their recovery protocol as it helps relieve muscle pain, relieve muscle weakness and prevent injuries.
Helps during labor and childbirth
Deep tissue massage helps women control their pain during childbirth. Even before labor, prenatal massage is a great way for women to relax and relax the muscles that have been tightened during pregnancy. Cortisol supplementation can help women reduce depression, anxiety and leg and back pain.
Some studies show that women who regularly massage before and during labor experience less pain than regular massage, and that their pain is lower than those who do not massage regularly.
