Deep Tissue Massage
What is a Deep Tissue massage?
Realigning the deeper layers of connective and muscle tissue is the main focus of deep tissue massage. Through gentle strokes and deep finger pressure on the tight areas, either following or going over the fibres of the muscles, tendons, and fascia, it aims to relieve the chronic patterns of tension in the body.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Benefits of regular Massage Therapy
One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins – the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing.
Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.
Some of the physical benefits of massage therapy include:
Lower stress. The long-term effects of stress can take emotional and physical tolls.
Increase immune function.
Boost mental health and wellness.
