If you need a deeper focus on chronic tension, the deep tissue massage uses slow strokes and deliberate pressure to release tension from muscles and tendons. It can relieve chronic pain and acute muscle spasms. 

Deep tissue massage is a specialized type of massage that targets the deeper layers of muscles and fascia. Here are its main features and benefits:

Features:
Deep Action: Unlike general relaxation massages, deep tissue massage focuses on deep muscle and fascial layers, often used to address chronic pain and tension.
Pressure and Techniques: Therapists might apply more significant pressure to break up deep adhesions or scar tissue within the muscles, but it can also involve gentle, sustained pressure to promote movement between fascial layers.
Target Audience: This type of massage is suitable for individuals needing stronger touch or those with specific muscle or fascial issues.

Benefits:
Pain Relief:
Studies have shown that deep tissue massage can help alleviate pain associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis.
Research on fibromyalgia patients indicates that massage can provide immediate pain relief and, after five weeks of treatment, reduce anxiety and depression levels.
Improved Range of Motion:

It can reduce the hindrance caused by scar tissue, enhancing joint flexibility.
Studies confirm that deep tissue massage can significantly increase the range of motion in the neck and shoulder areas.
Cardiopulmonary Function Improvement:
Massage can lower blood pressure and heart rate, promoting heart health.
For patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), massage might help improve lung function.
Stress Relief:
It effectively alleviates tension caused by work or life stress.
Long-term studies have shown that massage can reduce the frequency, duration, and intensity of chronic tension headaches.
Deep tissue massage goes beyond mere relaxation by directly affecting the body's deeper structures to promote health and functional improvements. This makes it a choice for those seeking deeper physical adjustments.
