Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and patients who have sustained a non-recent physical injury.
Stress caused by physical and psychological factors has been known to be relieved by massages for over thousands of years around the world.
These days, research studies continue to show that massage therapies are effective methods of treating common health issues, such as lower back pain, arthritis, and anxiety, when used alone or when combined with other types of treatment.
