Recover Faster with a Deep Tissue Massager
What is a deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique focusing on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. By using slow, firm strokes and deep pressure, it aims to break down knots and adhesions in muscles and improve blood flow and range of motion. Unlike a relaxation massage, deep tissue massage may cause slight discomfort. You may be sore after the session, but the benefits it offers will make you do it all over again.
The Power of Pressure: Techniques Used in Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage employs several techniques to achieve its therapeutic benefits. These include direct pressure with the therapist's hands, fingers, forearms, or elbows; slow strokes to work into the deeper layers of tissue; and friction and stretching to release tension and improve range of motion. These techniques combined create a powerful therapy to alleviate muscle pain and tension.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage
Targets chronic pain and muscle tension
Deep tissue massage can effectively target chronic pain and muscle tension. By applying firm pressure to the deep layers of muscle tissue, this technique breaks up knots, adhesions, and scar tissue. It increases blood flow to the specific area, which helps reduce inflammation, promotes healing and helps with many conditions, like muscle tension, chronic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis.
Promotes better mobility and flexibility
Deep tissue massage enhances mobility and flexibility by breaking up any adhesions or scar tissue that may restrict movement. By applying pressure to the deeper layers of muscles, deep tissue massage improves elasticity, reduces tension and adhesions, and encourages blood flow, which helps promote muscle tissue growth and repair. It means you will be more flexible with an improved range of motion and overall better mobility. This could be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer from conditions such as arthritis or chronic pain, athletes, or anyone wishing to maintain peak physical performance.
Reduces stress and provides relaxation
Deep tissue massage reduces stress and promotes relaxation, while reducing the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body. As the muscles relax and tension is reduced, blood pressure levels also tend to lower. This can further promote relaxation and enhance the overall sense of well-being. Deep tissue massage can be a powerful tool for reducing stress and creating a peaceful sense of balance in the body and mind.

Laramae is a thorough and skilled RMT. I have a fairly complicated collection of injuries but she wasn't intimidated by it and dove right in. She provided me with a follow up exercise which I really appreciated. I found making an appointment simple and her location easy to find. I will definitely be going back.

I had a massage treatment by Lara. She was very kind and friendly but also knowledgeable for my condition. She gave me the home exercise to improve my pain. Next time when I am in town, I will definitely see her again.
