Deep tissue massage is used for rehabilitation. It focuses on realigning the deepest layer of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia. It helps chronic aches pains as well as contracted areas such as a stiff neck, upper and lower back pain, relieves strain and treat injuries in your joints and tendons.
Because this type of massage is focussed on problem areas, you may feel discomfort during and after a treatment, but the deep tissue massage will be most effective for deep muscle pains and spasms and over time help with mobility and reduced pain during exercise and sleep.
