Deep Tissue / Myofascial Massage
Myofascial and deep tissue massage focus on the deep layers of muscles and the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle, joint, and organ in the body. Fascia can become restricted from overuse, in jury, or poor posture, which limits mobility and creates chronic tension. By applying slow, sustained pressure, a skil led therapist stretches muscle fibers and fascial layers, breaks up adhesions, and restores proper alignment. Circula tion improves as blood flow increases, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while flushing out metabolic waste, and the nervous system responds by relaxing hyperactive muscles and reducing protective tension patterns. This therapy is ideal for anyone experiencing chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, posture imbalances, repetitive strain, or for athletes seeking enhanced performance and recovery. It is especially beneficial for tight or restricted areas caused by long hours at a desk, athletic training, or injury. During a session, you’ll lie comfortably on a massage table, draped or wearing form-fitting clothing. The therapist focuses on specific areas, applying deliberate pressure to release restricted tissues. Some “good pain” is normal as muscles and fascia lengthen and relax. Sessions leave you feeling more mobile, aligned, and free of tension.
