Deep tissue

Deep tissue massage is great for easing persistent muscle discomfort. Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia (the tissue covering muscles), releasing painful knots and reducing overall aches and pains.

Deep tissue massage is designed to apply pressure to the layers of muscle and soft tissues and is highly therapeutic. The therapist applies firm pressure and slow strokes to the patient’s body to reach the fascia, or connective tissue, and muscles deep beneath the surface. 

These techniques are often used to break down ‘knots’, which are sections of rigid muscle and tissue adhesions, and can also be used to break through scar tissue and stimulate blood flow and healing. Knots and scar tissue are linked to a limited range of motion, poor circulation, pain, and inflammation.

The benefits of deep tissue massage

A deep tissue massage may improve circulation, reduce minor aches and pain, increase range of motion, and ease inflammation. According to a study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, deep tissue massage helped to lower blood pressure after just one session. If you’re looking to rehab an old injury or are dealing with minor aches and pains, talk with your massage therapist about working deep tissue massage into your next visit.

What to expect

In general, this is what happens during a deep tissue massage:

  • The therapist will talk with you about your problem areas (such as an injury or aches), any recent injuries, and what to expect during the massage. This is the time to make sure you have the same expectations about the amount of pressure and areas of concentration. Tell the therapist about the areas you would prefer the therapist to avoid.
  • After the therapist leaves the room, you will remove clothing and jewelry and lay face down on a massage table, covering yourself with a sheet. You only need to remove as much clothing as your comfort allows. This may mean completely removing clothing for some people. For public venues, you will remain fully clothed.
  • The therapist will start by gently warming up your muscles with light pressure and oil or lotion if you want it.
  • Once your muscles are prepared, the therapist will begin deep tissue manipulations. Be sure to give your therapist feedback about pressure or sensitive spots during the massage.
