Learn more about my Portland deep tissue massage:
Deep tissue massage – a deep, directed massage technique with firm stroking, kneading, and friction. The deeper, firmer pressure and manipulation is intended to work into the structures of the muscle tissue and fascia. Deep tissue massage can sometimes be painful, yet it is helpful in releasing difficult muscle tension, spasms, knots and congestion, and helping with sports injuries. Sports massage typically uses deep tissue massage techniques.
Ever wonder what deep tissue is all about? It’s more about the focused area, the release of a deeper muscle and/or muscle groups. Using slow strokes, light to medium to firm pressure will enhance the relaxation of the muscles and joints in the near vicinity. Depending on the area of the body the massage is used, the therapist will used thumbs, knuckles, palms of the hand, and the forearm. Great communication with the client and massage therapist will facilitate awareness of how much pressure is needed. While deep tissue bodywork massage can be more intense than other types of massage, let your therapist know if it is too painful so the amount of pressure can be adjusted.
Deep tissue therapy will release knots that will allow your body to excrete built up toxins and lactic acid, so be sure to drink plenty of water after your massage to allow your body to let go of the bad stuff and so you will enjoy the results of your massage experience. I hope you enjoy your Portland deep tissue massage!
