The Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, deep tissue massage focuses on a specific problem, such as: Chronic pain.
It treats the connective tissue of the body rather than just the surface muscles. It is similar to a Swedish massage but with slower movements and deeper pressure.
Deep tissue massage helps to refresh and relax muscles, increasing the blood flow and therefore the oxygen flow around the body.
There may be some soreness after a deep tissue massage; however, the soreness should go away within a day or two. The massage should not hurt but will be a little more uncomfortable than a classic massage.
