Deep Tissue Massage
Consider deep tissue massage if:
You work in a job that involves sitting for long periods or repetitive movements.
You are very active and want to prevent injury from incorrect movement as a result of pain and tension.
You have chronic lower back pain and aren’t benefitting from your current treatment plan.
Your muscles and joints often feel stiff with little improvement during your most active parts of the day.
Your pain or poor mobility is not connected to a specific injury or illness, but instead, relates to sore areas that developed over time.
At Bassage Body & Mind, we are proud to offer an intuitive, experienced touch in our deep tissue therapy services. Perhaps best of all, every treatment ends with a relaxing head massage to soothe tension built up by stress and excess screen time.
Deep Tissue Massage Benefits
Deep tissue massage is an amazing therapy for relieving common pain conditions. It works with a deeper level of pressure than normal, using cross-fibre, lengthening, stretching, and trigger point-releasing techniques.
If you need to relieve muscle pain or boost your mobility and vitality, you will most likely love the effects of deep tissue massage. A study on people with chronic low back pain, one of the most common health problems in the world, found that it significantly reduced pain and related disability.
Relaxation and pain relief
Deep tissue massage may even relieve conditions like the much rarer ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In another trial, volunteers enjoying deep tissue therapy had lower disease activity and pain scores, and higher physical function ratings. This is despite AS being an immune disorder where inflammation damages and hardens the joints, and it demonstrates the power of deep tissue therapy.
One of the main ways that deep tissue massage works is by helping to relieve trigger points. These are localized areas of tension that radiate pain and stiffness throughout your muscle. They may reduce the muscle’s range of motion, cause weakness, and trigger cramping.
Trigger points are caused by long-term excessive contraction of the muscle, which depletes the cellular energy, blood flow, and nerve function. Deep tissue massage restores the flow of blood and nerve transmissions, which spreads relief throughout the muscle. Through lengthening techniques, it may also prevent the development of smaller trigger points you haven’t noticed yet, and improve flexibility after lack of use.
