Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that uses various techniques to go beyond the superficial muscles and work on specific areas. During a consultation, it is important to obtain as much information as possible so that the therapist can focus on the right area and know what actions may aggravate the symptoms. Adhesions are painful, rigid bands of tissue that can cause poor blood circulation and pain. The goal of deep tissue massage is to release these muscle fibers in order to eliminate toxins and improve circulation. In the event of injury, clients should be referred to another professional for expert advice.
