Are you someone who works hard, exercises often but only rarely gets a massage? If so, you don’t support your body to reach its full potential. Anyone who works hard daily or exercises out four or more times per week should have a deep tissue massage every two weeks. Otherwise, your muscles will be tense and your workout or daily work will be painful and not efficient.



Deep Tissue massage involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury, and reduce muscle tension. 



Some benefits of a deep tissue massage include:



Better workouts

Relaxed, less stressed muscles will give you increased range of motion during your workouts. Your body will be far more efficient at building muscle and burning calories.



Reduced fatigue to your daily work

Relax your muscles on a regular basis. If you work in construction or other hard hands-on work your muscles will be tense and your daily work will be painful and exhausting. Deep Tissue massage along with your Therapist’s guidance to strengthen your muscles efficiently will keep you up and running full with energy.

 

Better mood, less stress

Research has shown that massage helps lower levels of stress hormones while at the same time boosting those “feel good” neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins.



Better sleep 

Not only will regular massage help you feel good, you’ll also sleep better due to less pain and a boost in serotonin.



Reduced Pain

Deep tissue massage will work out the knots from stressed, overworked muscles and connective tissue (fascia) to alleviate immediate pain, as well as chronic joint and muscle pain. It also promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.



Improve Overall Health

In addition to benefiting muscle and tissue health, deep tissue massage positively affects your overall health by decreasing blood pressure and improving lung function.



Work hard but don’t forget to recover! Adding a regular deep tissue massage to your recovery routine will keep you feeling fit, strong and ready to conquer your next challenge.
