Deep tissue massage is a type of massage technique which uses deep pressure and focuses on a specific problem. Combining slow strokes and finger pressure, the purpose is to release the tension and tightness held deeply in your muscles and your connective tissues
A deep tissue massage will typically focus on your primary areas of discomfort. The increased pressure helps to alleviate any soreness or imbalance caused by injury or tension. The list of conditions that can be effectively treated with this technique is extensive and includes whiplash and repetitive strain, postural problems and sciatica, sports injury, recovery from falls, muscle tension and spasm
