Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy at Awender Chiropractic in Redwood City

A deep tissue massage utilizes moderate to firm pressure and long, slow hand strokes. The firm pressure helps reach the deeper layers of the muscles and soft tissues in order to help alleviate muscle pain and tension. This type of massage is beneficial for individuals who have lower back pain, tendonitis, joint restriction due to injuries and scar tissue.

As the name suggests, deep layers of muscle and the surrounding tissue are targeted with the aim of lengthening and relaxing deep tissue. This results in an intense treatment, as blood and nutrients are carried to your muscles, helping to eliminate toxins.

Deep tissue massage applies more forceful strokes than Swedish massage to affect tissues deep inside the body part being treated. Chronic muscle tension at these levels can cause ongoing pain and stiffness in tendons, muscles, and fascia. This is particularly true after an injury, when scar tissue can proliferate out of control in these tissues, creating adhesions.

Muscle knots from chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia may also form this level. the strong, slow strokes of deep-tissue massage can help un-glue stuck tissues and undo muscle knots. It can even reduce stress hormones and lighten your mood.

Sports Massage – Sports massage can help you both before and after your big athletic event. This form of massage emphasizes the specific muscle groups you use most often in your sport, so you can use it to relax and loosen these muscles before training or competition.

It can also relieve pain and inflammation from an injury sustained during your activity of choice while enhancing circulation so the injury can heal. Regular use of sports massage can help you enjoy better endurance, less post-event soreness and fatigue, and lower risk of injury in your activity of choice.
