2. Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage Compared to Swedish Massage If you’ve been looking for the perfect massage, or believe that Swedish massage is the best style of massage for aches, pains, sports injuries…etc. But have you considered deep tissue massage? Swedish-style massage ‘can’ be useful for minor aches, pains, and general wellbeing …and it’s a fairly relaxing massage too. But why not go straight in for a deep tissue massage and sort yourself out more effectively, and in less time and for longer? Deep tissue massage is more about ‘therapy’ and ‘healing’ than relaxation – but isn’t that the idea? Having deep tissue on a regular basis DOES bring about relaxation and a sense of wellbeing – without having to go for a Swedish massage. You may not have heard a lot of talk about deep tissue massage or you may think it is only for chronic pain sufferers or top level athletes; it is actually used quite often to help people that have very stationary or very physical jobs – both take a toll on the body.

3. A few Helpful Things to Know About Deep Tissue 1.) Deep tissue massage reaches the muscles that other massages cannot reach. These muscles may trapped, knotted, or in a state of severe tension. The deeper muscles are extremely important in maintain a good posture. If the deeper muscles are problematic you may suffer from conditions such as: Hunch Back (kyphosis), back pain, scoliosis, sciatica, headaches, migraines, stress etc… Still today, many people do not realise how beneficial a deep tissue massage can be to correct these conditions or indeed that these conditions ARE treatable. If you have a back ache that won't go away, it means that the core muscles are in need of manipulation, and that is where deep tissue massage comes in. You may find relief for many types of chronic pain through this type of massage, and once you find you are feeling better, you will with you had discovered it years ago!

4. A few Helpful Things to Know About Deep Tissue 2.) Deep tissue massage uses much more pressure to reach the deeper muscles and means there will experience more pain or discomfort during your treatment. A good therapist will be experienced enough to take you to an acceptable level of discomfort in order to achieve the maximum results possible for that treatment. An exceptional therapist will be able to relax you enough in order to reach deeper levels and obtain even higher results. When muscles are knotted the act of kneading and manipulating them will cause discomfort. This pain is temporary, and depending on the state of your health, you should see results rather quickly. It is important that you keep up with your treatment if you want to see total and complete results. After your treatment you may experience soreness from 24 to 48 hours after, and some bruising may occur. After this time you should feel looser, calmer, and any injuries or postural problems should improve remarkably. Following a deep tissue treatment we recommend no alcohol or caffeine and that you eat iron-rich foods such as red meat, spinach, broccoli, beetroot etc… in order to help with muscle repair, enrich the blood and detoxify the body.

5. A few Helpful Things to Know About Deep Tissue 3.) You may have to look hard to find a good deep tissue massage therapist. Normally would not find a good deep tissue therapist in a spa that might offer Swedish massage. Word of mouth is often the best source in finding a deep tissue massage therapist with the amount of experience needed. Another useful and time consuming method is to simply call a massage clinic and ask specific questions about the delivery of the treatment. In our experience, your GP can be helpful but may be reluctant to recommend alternative therapies.
