If you’re looking for a whole body massage that can target those deeper layers of muscle tissue, then deep tissue massage at Simply Rose Massage and Wellness may be just what you need. This type of massage is designed to alleviate pain and tension caused by stress and tightness in the muscles. Read on to learn more about deep tissue massage, how it works, and what to expect from your session.

What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue in the body. Unlike Swedish massage, which uses long, sweeping strokes to relax muscles and improve circulation, deep tissue massage involves more intense pressure and specific techniques to break up adhesions, knots, and scar tissue.

How Does Deep Tissue Massage Work?

During a deep tissue massage, the therapist uses their hands, fingers, forearms, and elbows to apply deep pressure to specific areas of the body. The pressure is applied slowly and gradually, allowing the therapist to access deeper layers of muscle tissue without causing discomfort or pain.

What Are the Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage can have a range of benefits, including:
Relieving chronic pain and tension in the muscles
Improving flexibility and range of motion
Reducing inflammation and swelling
Promoting relaxation and stress relief
Improving posture and alignment

What to expect during a Reflexology Massage session?

During a Reflexology Massage session, the client will sit or lie down comfortably while the Reflexologist works on their feet, hands, or ears. The Reflexologist will use a variety of techniques, including pressure, kneading, and rubbing, to stimulate the reflex points. The pressure applied during the session can vary depending on the client’s preference and sensitivity. Clients can expect to feel a sensation of pressure or tingling in the areas being worked on, which is a sign that the corresponding body part is being stimulated.

What Can I Expect During a Deep Tissue Massage?

During your deep tissue massage at Simply Rose Massage and Wellness, your therapist will begin by asking about your health history and any specific areas of pain or tension in your body. They may also ask about your preferred level of pressure and any other concerns or goals you have for the session.

You will then lie down on a massage table, either face up or face down, depending on which areas of the body are being targeted. The therapist will use oil or lotion to help their hands glide smoothly over your skin and may cover you with a sheet or blanket for warmth and comfort.

The therapist will then begin applying deep pressure to specific areas of the body, such as the neck, shoulders, back, or legs. You may feel some discomfort or pressure during the massage, but it should not be painful. If you experience any pain or discomfort, be sure to let the therapist know so they can adjust the pressure or technique accordingly.

After the massage, the therapist may give you some stretches or exercises to do at home to help maintain the benefits of the massage.
