Deep Tissue Massage Austin

Deep tissue massage is a mode of massage that is gaining interest from people throughout the world because of the lasting benefits it provides.  It is gaining this popularity among millions considering deep tissue massage for therapeutic purposes.

 

The deep tissue massage is a massage technique that focuses its attention on deeper tissue layers of muscle.  It involves a number of slow movements, but generally the pressure is more intense. The focus of a deep tissue massage is to release chronic patterns of tension in the body.  The most common areas of these movements and deep finger pressure are the contracted muscle areas, with strokes following or going across muscle fibers, fascia and tendons.

 

Deep tissue massage offers a number of benefits.  First, deep tissue massage releases chronic muscle tension. The technique employs slower strokes and deep finger pressure applied across the grain of the muscles, not with the grain.  The massage also assists in breaking up and removing scar tissue from the body. Unlike other types of massage, deep tissue massage work focuses more on specific areas of the body and has the tendency to cause general muscle soreness during or right after the bodywork.  Severe soreness is possible if the massage is performed without much care, but if done properly can result in extreme relaxation.

 

The benefits deep tissue massage can provide are numerous. Even great than those mentioned above.  The deep tissue massage is especially beneficial to your health.  A number of studies show that when muscles are stressed they block oxygen and nutrient delivery to the body, which may lead to inflammation of muscles. Inflammation is what allows for the build-up of toxins in muscle tissue.  It is when toxins build up in your system that you can feel tired and stressed.  Deep tissue massage helps to loosen muscle tissues and assist in the removal of toxins from muscles.  It also promotes blood and oxygen properly circulating.

 

After a Deep Tissue Massage

 

Since many toxins are released during a deep tissue massage, it is imperative to drink plenty of water after treatments.  Besides the normal benefit water brings to muscle tissue and fibers, it expedites the flushing out of the toxins that are released.

 

Many people expect more pressure during a deep tissue massage session, believing that if the therapist pushes hard they can eliminate all of their knots in just an hour’s time.  The plain truth is that this just cannot happen.  Undoing knots and tension that has built up over a lifetime can be best attained with an integrated massage program.  This regimen should incorporate not only deep tissue massage but exercise and relaxation techniques. 

 

Deep tissue massage is not the only method of massage that has extreme health benefits, but massage therapy should be a staple in your healthy lifestyle.
