Deep tissue massages use firm pressure and slow stroked to massage deep layers of muscle and fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles.
Deep tissue massage primarily targets the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia (connective tissue) to release tension and alleviate chronic pain. Deep tissue massage is effective for relieving chronic pain conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and muscle stiffness. It can also alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis.
