1. Reduces Chronic Pain
Deep tissue massage increases blood flow throughout the body, helping to reduce the inflammation that causes pain. Helps to alleviate muscle tension that is often a side effect of chronic pain too, by releasing tight soft tissue.
2. Reduces Stress and Tension and Improves Blood Pressure
Deep Tissue Massage helps to ease stress and tension, which have a beneficial effect on blood pressure. Deep tissue massage can help increase the production of serotonin, the hormone that promotes happiness and good feelings.
3. Breaks Up Scar Tissue
Over time deep-tissue massage can help break down and eventually erase scar tissue in the body. It does this by improving lymphatic circulation and drainage to improve flexibility and range of motion in the affected area. Scar tissue is often associated with ongoing pain and stiffness, so deep-tissue massage can improve these symptoms too. Recommended if you are recovering from surgery.
4. Rehabilitates Injured Muscles
Deep tissue massage can be effective in treating injured muscles. It facilitates the movement of toxins from the muscles and helps stretch tight or ‘twisted’ muscles mass and therefore promotes healing. It can reduce pain caused by injury or overuse.
