Release Tension

• Tension can be carried in deep tissue, which can cause skeletal or circulation problems if not addressed. Deep tissue massage can release that tension, allowing free movement and a level of stress relief not found in a typical massage.
  
  

Loosen Deeper Muscle Tissues

• Deep tissue massage works through the superficial layers, affecting the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage also affects the deep fascia surrounding the muscles, loosening adhesions and promoting healthy circulation.
  
  

Correct Posture

• Some forms of deep tissue massage aid in realigning the skeleton around a central axis. This type of massage loosens muscles, allowing the skeleton to move and return to correct posture.
  
  

Treat Trigger Points

• Trigger points are constricted muscle nodules, which are often collection points for toxins trapped in the muscle. Trigger point therapy addresses these nodules directly, releasing the toxins and loosening the muscle.
  
  

Address Trauma

• Trauma can cause muscle constrictions in deeper tissues. Deep tissue massage directly targets deep muscles, releasing adhesions and allowing the body to recover from trauma without pain.
