What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Muscle Tissue as well as Swedish Massage is an invigorating style of massage encompassing a number of techniques designed to relax the muscles and ease tension. It involves long flowing strokes, often in the direction of the heart to increase circulation and blood flow. The results are an improvement in oxygen flow and the release of toxins from the muscular system. Deep Tissue Massage aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia. A Deep Tissue Massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from the muscles and get the blood and oxygen circulating properly.
