Deep Tissue MassageDeep tissue massage involves using more pressure to the deeper layers of muscle tissue and fascia in the body. Chronic pain and tension can cause knots in theses muscles and can hinder blood flow. Using more pressure the therapist can break up these knots and adhesions and can lead to a looser more relaxed body.
