What is the Purpose of a Deep-Tissue Massage?

What is the Purpose of a Deep-Tissue Massage?
A deep tissue massage, a form of massage therapy, consists of applying slow strokes and firm pressure to reach deeper layers of fascia and muscle. It is utilized for chronic aches and pain in areas such as upper and low back pain, stiff neck, sore shoulders, and leg muscle tightness. 

Potential Benefits of Deep-Tissue Massage

The deep tissue massage in New York generally focuses on a specific issue, such as injury rehabilitation, chronic muscle pain, as well as the following conditions:
  • Limited mobility
  • Low back pain
  • Postural problems
  • Tennis elbow
  • Upper back or neck pain
  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Muscle tension in the glutes, IT band, legs, hamstring, quadriceps, upper back, or rhomboids
  • Sciatica
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Osteoarthritis pain
  • Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls)
  • Piriformis syndrome
What to Expect 
Even though some of the strokes of deep tissue massage feel like those utilized in Swedish massage therapy, it is not a stronger form of a Swedish massage.
