DEEP TISSUE BODYWORK
Deep Tissue Bodywork is a combination of techniques that focus on relaxation and stress reduction. Therapy includes hands-on massage, along with education on strengthening, stretching, and posture. Clients report feeling more structurally balanced, with relief ofpain and fatigue during daily activities.How does Deep Tissue Massage work?
When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.
Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, direct deep pressure or friction is applied across the grain of the muscles.

Deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:
- Chronic pain
- Limited mobility
- Recovery from injuries
- Repetitive strain injury
