A deep tissue massage treatment involves your basic six-massage strokes (effleurage, petrissage, compression, vibration, friction and tapotement) commonly called Swedish massage. However, these strokes are implemented in a more comprehensive fashion. While a Swedish massage focus on the more superficial layers of muscle, a Deep tissue treatment gets down into the deeper layers of muscle tissue. A Deep tissue treatment can help to alleviate the pains associated with mechanical and reflexive connective tissue dysfunction. |
