What are the benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage?

Unlike a regular relaxation massage, deep tissue massage works effectively on the skeletal structures that lie deep within the body. Many people seek a deep tissue massage to help in treating crippling diseases, muscle, tendon and ligament injuries. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. Through controlled manual manipulation, deep tissue massage breaks down scar tissue and crystallization, loosens muscles, releases toxinsand allows blood and oxygen to circulate properly. It is important to drink plenty of water afterwards to flush away the toxins released during massage.

The key benefits of deep tissue massage include:

* Elimination of the blocks that cause muscle tightness
* Increases circulation of blood, lymph, cerebro-spinal and interstitial fluids
* Can resolve many chronic pain patterns by releasing deeply held emotions that cause tension
* Helps improve the functioning of the internal organs and any associated symptoms or diseases
* Improves posture and mobility
* Helps to reduce tension and the automatic reflexes to stress
