Patients Medical is pleased to offer Deep Tissue Massage Therapy, performed by our licensed massage therapists and practitioners who have years of experience.
A deep tissue massage utilizes regular massage techniques and takes them to the next level to realign deep layers of muscle and connective tissue.
During a normal massage therapy session, the masseuse will use techniques affecting skin layers, the top muscle layers, joints, fascia, and the lymph system. A greater amount of pressure than in normal massages is used to manipulate these areas. The massage strokes will be noticeably slower, in order to fully penetrate deep tissue layers.
Once muscle tension has become chronic, it establishes a pattern in the muscle fibers and pain signals transmitted to the brain. You have probably experienced an area in your own body where you have felt a "knot" of tension. This is an area where muscle fibers have become stuck. It can be difficult for the muscle tissue to return to a normal state without outside manipulation. A DTM works along and across deep muscle tissues in an effort to break up those knots, restore circulation, and interrupt the pattern of tension and pain so healing can begin.
The majority of patients who seek deep tissue massage suffer from areas that are chronically tense, sore or have tangible knots such as the neck, shoulders and lower back. Athletes also enjoy the benefits of deep tissue work (also called Sports Deep Tissue Massage) on their arms, calves, thighs and buttocks as these areas can become chronically tense from the repetitive strain from their chosen sport or activity.
The following are benefits of DTM:
Physiological effects of the deep tissue massage include pain reduction and relaxation. Psychological effects can include anxiety reduction and an invigorating feeling to the patient.
