What is Deep Tissue Massage?

At Perpetuity Skin + Spa, we love all massage types. Whatever feels good for you, we’re here to deliver it. Today we’re going deep…tissue.

Deep Tissue bodywork at Perpetuity Skin + Spa works through tension, layer-by-layer, reaching the deeper muscles where persistent discomfort can be released. Much of the work by your massage therapist is focused on bringing the body back into balance by working on the fascia. (That’s the soft tissue component of the connective tissue system of the body.). This work is a focused area technique, as it’s an efficient technique for problem areas like shoulders, hips, etc. The client must be relaxed to permit the massage therapist to work this deeply. The pressure starts lightly, but progresses to the deepest level the client can tolerate, and open communication here is key. This approach can be either corrective or generally therapeutic. Deep Tissue Massage targets specific areas of concern to alleviate symptoms of nerve impingement, muscle tears and sprains, and chronic muscular pain. This kind of deep tissue massage has been found effective in treating chronic pain, muscle adhesions (knots), whiplash, neck and lower back pain, sciatica, and circulatory problems. And afterword you feel like jelly 🙂
