Deep Tissue Massage targets the deep tissue structure of the fascia and muscles, referred to as connective tissue. Of the many types of massage, deep tissue focuses on the release of muscle tension and chronic knots. Deep tissue massage can break up and eliminate scar tissue from previous injuries. A common problem is that stressed muscles can block nutrients and oxygen from getting to where they need to go, and this will cause inflammation that allows toxins to build up in your muscle tissue.  The inflammation and toxins contribute to pain and stress. Deep Tissue Massage breaks up and releases the built-up toxins by loosening the muscles. With the toxins released, blood and oxygen can circulate as they should through one’s body. Being properly hydrated before you go to your massage appointment and drinking plenty of water after one of these massages is highly recommended. The strokes used in deep tissue massage are similar to those used in a Swedish Massage except more pressure is used and it uses cross grain strokes (strokes that go across the gain of the muscles instead of with the grain). As with a classic Swedish massage, you will be lying on a massage table and covered with a sheet or towel. A good way to recover from a Deep Tissue Massage is by soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salt. This soaking is recommended because it will help get more of the toxins out of your body (Epsom salt draws the toxins out into the water). Your muscles need some rest after one of these massages, even if you feel no soreness. So do not plan any activities within a day of a Deep Tissue Massage. Some people think that if you just push hard enough, a knot could be worked out in one session, but this is not the case. For built-up tension and chronic knots (adhesions) deep tissue massage is just one part of the treatment. 

Tui Na (pronounced ‘Twee-nah’) is a non-invasive medical massage practiced by the Chinese. Tui Na practitioners use diverse massage techniques that soften hard muscles that may have developed from injury, bad posture or neglect. The massage encourages a better blood and oxygen supply in the energy channels facilitating the healing process. Tui Na is used to treat particular problems. Styles of Tui Na differ, some are gentle and subtle while other are deep and vigorous.

Acupressure (manual activation of acupuncture points) is used in Tui Na Therapy and Reflexology treatments.

Deep Tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue.  It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.

Sports and Remedial Massage is a form of massage regularly used among athletes before, during and after exercise. Nowadays, however, it is used among any individual who exercises on a weekly basis or uses their body for heavy-duty activity. It is well known in the prevention of injury and is a compliment to any workout.
