What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a custom therapy massage technique mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps break up scar tissue following an injury and reduces tension in muscles and tissue. It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
