Deep
connective tissue massage is a form of intense massage that
aims to release myofascial (connective tissue) restrictions
in the body and to break up any restrictive scar tissue. It
has also been known to help relieve chronic tension, to increase
the body's range of motion, to improve posture and to enhance
the natural harmony of the entire body and mind.
Deep
connective tissue massage is also said to restore the length
and flexibility to the fascia (the fibrous tissue that surrounds
the muscles and organs), by normalizing the tissue and improving
the strength and overall health of the entire fascial system
(connective tissues throughout the entire body).
The
strokes of this type of massage are slower and more pressure
is applied in order to warm the muscle tissue and reach the
deeper layers of muscle. During our session I will focus on
releasing tension from the deeper tissue structures of the
muscle and fascia with deep, intense strokes.
