A full-body deep tissue massage is a therapeutic massage that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It’s typically used to treat chronic aches, tightness, scar tissue, and restricted movement.
What it involves
Pressure and strokes: Slower, more deliberate strokes and sustained pressure using fingers, thumbs, elbows, and forearms to reach deeper muscle layers.
Targeting: Therapist works from superficial muscles into deeper layers, often addressing specific problem areas (neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, legs) while still treating the whole body.
Techniques: Myofascial release, friction across fibers, deep gliding and sometimes trigger-point work to break up adhesions and improve tissue mobility.
Communication: Therapist checks pressure and pain tolerance frequently; some discomfort is normal but should not be sharp or unbearable.
