Deep Tissue Massage and Ergonomics of Massage Therapist

Ergonomics refers to proper body mechanics and good posture, which can help you avoid injuries and muscle fatigue by keeping the body properly aligned to prevent strain on joints and muscles. Body mechanics is the process of using the body safely.

A deep tissue massage is not simply a firm massage with more pressure applied; rather, it involves various techniques that allow the therapist to work beyond the superficial muscles, usually focusing on a specific area.

During the consultation, it is important to gather as much information as possible in order to focus on the correct area and to check if any particular action worsens the symptom.

If a muscle has been injured or is tense due to poor posture, stress, or illness, adhesions may form.

The goal of deep tissue massage is to release muscle fibers that have become “stuck”, helping to eliminate toxins and encourage blood flow to resume.
