Deep Tissue
Seek relief from chronic muscle tension, strain, and pain through the use of deep, slow pressure techniques and assisted stretching of targeted muscles of the body. A typical session will target one, possibly two, areas of the body.This is not the typical deep tissue treatments offered in a spa setting. This work is much deeper and focused.
Sometimes pain refers: for example you may be experiencing back pain but the real issue may be a tightness of the muscles in your quadriceps (front of the thighs) or piriformis (posterior area). When focusing on such areas of strain, Deep Tissue has been shown to increase joint flexibility and circulation in the targeted muscle groups. Deep Tissue also addresses structural issues of the body, such as forward rounding of the shoulders.
The following represents just a few of the problems I treat with Deep Tissue:
- back strains
- ankle sprains
- repetitive strain injuries
- chronic headaches/migraines
- plantar fasciitis
- post surgery scars
- knee strains
- piriformis syndrome
