Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage involves stretching and mobilizing specific muscles and joints, focusing is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints). This massage helps with chronic muscular pain,  reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis, tendinitis or sports injury.

Tiffany Fields PhD conducted a a Review of Massage Therapy Research Studies and found the following:

When moderate and light pressure massage have been compared in laboratory studies, moderate pressure massage reduced depression, anxiety and heart rate, and it altered EEG patterns, as in a relaxation response. Moderate pressure massage has also led to increased vagal activity and decreased cortisol levels. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data have suggested that moderate pressure massage was represented in several brain regions including the amygdala, the hypothalamus and the anterior cingulate cortex, all areas involved in stress and emotion regulation.
