Deep Tissue / Sports Massage

Massage is one of the oldest forms of therapy; it is a system of kneading, stroking and pressing different parts of the body. It can relieve pain, stimulate, relax and tone. Massage works the muscles under the skin, and depending on the type of massage, can also work the deeper layers of muscles as well. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system to eliminate waste.

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas. It is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction.

Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, you will feel better than ever within a day or two.It is beneficial to your physical and mental health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue.

A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. When your body feels less tense it follows that your mind will feel less tense as well. Deep tissue massage can get rid of your bad mood and make you less stressed and anxious. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

Sports Massage - The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. The massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, and promotes flexibility. Sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger.
