Deep Tissue Massage

Details:

A technique that allows you to work out complex areas of the body, including stretching the legs and lower back. Deep pressure attempts to move deeper muscles and their fascial layear as well as tendons and ligaments. As with moderate/medium pressure, adjacent joints may move. The practitioner administers deep pressure by using their upper body and lower extremity strength and transfers their body weight into the client’s tissues by leaning. Substantial hand strength or force is required and one hand may be braced by the other to deliver deep pressure. The practitioner often uses the bony elements of their fingertips, knuckles, forearms or elbow to apply pressure and reach the bones of the massaged area - this strategy helps the practitioner apply deep pressure with less effort. Deep pressure is used by practitioners who offer deep tissue massage the use of deep pressure to reduce tension. Deep pressure is also called strong pressure or high-intensity pressure and is associated with methods such as structural integration or Rolfing and trigger point therapy. Some define deep tissue massage as the application of massage techniques that reaches a client pain pressure threshold by applying more pressure. Clients who receive deep pressure, especially over endangerment sites are more likely to experience side effects and/or adverse events.
