What is a Deep Tissue Massage?
A deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage that uses deep and targeted pressure to break down knots, scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage therapists have “the understanding of the layers of the body and the ability to work with tissues in layers to relax, extend, and unlock the persisting, incorrect tensions, in the most effective and energy-efficient manner.”
