Deep Tissue

Description
Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of structural muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow deep strokes either following or going across the muscle fiber's, tendons and connective tissue.

Why Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. The deep manipulation of the bundles of muscles facilitate muscle action and range of motion.  When muscles are tight, they restrict blood circulation and block the supply of oxygen and nutrients, further perpetuating the trauma leading to the  buildup of toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissue, releases toxins from muscles and improves blood and oxygen circulating.
