It is a form of therapeutic massage that has become increasingly popular
in the last few years. Deep tissue massage is a technique intended
to penetrate the tissue structures of the body most deep of the muscles and the
fascia, also called connective tissue.
Uses many of the movements
the chiro massage, but the pressure is usually more intense. Is more
focused on releasing muscle tension or knots (also known as “adhesions”).
The therapy of deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but the pressure,
to be more profound, it is more beneficial to release the muscle tension. Attention
focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia
(the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
Deep tissue massage is primarily used to treat problems
musculoskeletal, such as strains and sports injuries.
