Deep tissue massage is an anatomically correct, effectively applied massage modality that releases holding patterns in the body with an intentional and therapeutic touch.
The therapist moves very slowly, working at an oblique angle to stretch the fascia and connective tissues. Fists, knuckles, and elbows work firmly into the muscle.
Deep tissue work has great potential for more lasting change and injury healing. During Swedish massage, massage therapists use massage oils to facilitate friction and stretching of the muscles. This massage is intended to address the whole body.
Long and broad strokes are used with this treatment, including rocking, tapping, and kneading of the muscles. Some of the effects of Swedish massage are relaxation, increased body awareness, and deep letting go of long-time held places.
