When you think of a massage, you may only think of relaxation and stress relief, but deep tissue massage can also be used to help treat muscle pain and stiffness. Deep tissue massage is used to treat musculoskeletal issues in your body, such as injuries, muscle pain, and sprains.

How Does Deep Tissue Massage Work?

Deep tissue massage involves using slow, deep strokes to apply sustained pressure to the inner layers of your connective tissues and muscles. This pressure helps to break up scar tissue while promoting faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. You may experience mild stiffness or soreness after your deep tissue massage, but this should pass within a day or so.
