Deep Tissue Massage in Footscray

Just as the name implies, Deep Tissue Massage targets the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and even fascia, which is a protective layer that surrounds joints, bones and muscles. This type of massage is used to treat a number of different ailments. It involves firm, slow strokes and deeper finger pressure than some other massage techniques. Due to the increased stimulation, Deep Tissue Massage provides some of the greatest benefits. Deep Tissue Massage can promote the healing of injured muscles by releasing toxins with the increased pressure and stretching of muscle groups which may be tight or twisted. The massage will usually relieve any pain associated with the injuries, as well. Regular Deep Tissue Massage may greatly improve lymphatic drainage, which can greatly improve range of motion and flexibility in areas affected by scar tissue in the body. This will gradually break up the scar tissue, until it eventually disappears, relieving the chronic stiffness and pain that is often associated with it. Because of this, patients recovering from surgery are often recommended to have massage therapy. Inflammation is usually the culprit for those who experience chronic pain. Improved blood circulation can often reduce inflammation, and Deep Tissue Massage is one of them most effective ways of achieving that. Another common cause of chronic pain is when muscle tension results in tight clusters of tissue, and Deep Tissue Massage is the perfect way to loosen them up. A 2008 study that was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that 45 to 60 minutes of Deep Tissue Massage could lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as lower heart rate by 10 beats per minute.
