Deep Tissue Massage
Cleveland, Ohio
Do you feel like your muscles are sore or your joints are strained? Perhaps a deep tissue massage is what you need.
A deep tissue massage is a specific technique that makes use of fingers, thumbs, and elbows to target musculoskeletal issues like chronic muscle tension, sports injuries, strains, postural problems, and arthritis pain. It involves applying the right amount of pressure through slow and deep strokes to reach the inner layer of muscle and connective tissue.
In doing so, this treatment can help break up the scar tissue that forms underneath the skin’s surface during an injury to reduce tension and relax your muscles. As a result, a deep tissue massage can increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and ultimately, promote faster healing.
Why Deep Tissue Massage Is for You
Besides its physical benefits, a deep tissue massage can also give you positive psychological effects. More than relieving the pain and improving the stiffness in your muscles, this particular massage can help you unwind mentally. Here’s how.
Relieve Stress
Stress occurs when your brain goes into fight-or-flight mode (also known as the stress defense) as a result of external stimuli. When this happens, your muscles tense, making it extremely uncomfortable for you.
A deep tissue massage can help relieve the tension in your body and encourage your body to relax. In addition, it can lower your cortisol levels (stress hormones) and increase your oxytocin levels (“happy hormones”). That being said, after every session, you should feel much lighter and happier both mentally and physically.
Improve Sleep
Having trouble sleeping at night? Or are you suffering from insomnia? A deep tissue massage can improve sleep patterns for everyone of all ages. Anyone suffering from sleep problems — whether they be children, adolescents, or adults — can benefit greatly from the help of this quick massage.
When you get this massage, your brain will produce serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that facilitates deep sleep. Through regular sessions, you can expect to see better sleep quality and lesser disturbances during the night for a more restful sleep.
