Experts believe deep tissue massage was first introduced during Ancient Egyptian times. Its modern history tells us these techniques were first used during the mid-19th century in Canada where physicians at that time used this approach to treat various medical conditions, for example, whiplash.
Deep tissue massage incorporates the practice of sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target deep layers of muscles and underlying connective tissue. This manipulation aims to break up knots / adhesions and enhance overall flexibility. The movements have similarities with Swedish massage however the pressure in deep tissue is more focused, intense, and moving at a slower pace.
Deep tissue massage is primarily used to treat musculoskeletal issues i.e. sports injuries however this massage technique does boast both physical and psychological benefits. Relieving muscle pain and stiffness alongside stress, deep tissue massage can treat various health conditions.
Deep tissue massage helps to relieve the pain associated with repetitive strain injuries, muscle spasms, whiplash, arthritis, postural problems, and fibromyalgia. It can also improve circulation and encourage the body to release toxins from the tissues. Faster healing may also be promoted by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
