Deep tissue refers to a type of massage therapy that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body. It is often used to treat chronic pain, muscle tension, and injuries. The technique involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper muscle layers, helping to release tightness and improve mobility. This massage technique is commonly used by athletes and individuals with physically demanding jobs. It can also be beneficial for those recovering from injuries or experiencing stress-related tension. Deep tissue massage is typically more intense than other forms of massage, such as Swedish massage, and may cause some discomfort during the session.
