Deep Tissue Massage
Relieve jaw pain and restore comfort with target TMJ massage therapy by one of our trained medical massage therapists.
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic massage technique that targets the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues in the body. It involves slow, firm pressure and deep strokes to release chronic muscle tension and tightness.
This type of massage is especially effective for treating muscle injuries, postural problems, and chronic pain conditions by breaking up adhesions (knots) and improving blood flow to the affected areas.
Common issues deep tissue massage may help with include:
- Chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain
- Muscle tightness and stiffness
- Limited mobility or range of motion
- Sports injuries
- Postural imbalances
- Tension headaches
- Sciatica
- Repetitive strain injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
How it works:
Deep tissue massage uses sustained pressure and slow strokes to reach the inner layers of muscles and fascia. The goal is to break down scar tissue and relieve areas of tension, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing.
While it can be intense at times, deep tissue massage should never be unbearable. A skilled therapist adjusts pressure based on your comfort level and therapeutic needs.
BOOK WITH A DEEP TISSUE SPECIALIST
Deep tissue massage should only be performed by trained and experienced medical massage therapists that understand the complexity of the condition. At Medical Massage Pensacola, our massage therapists are specially trained in deep tissue massage and will determine an appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
It’s important to note:
Deep tissue massage isn’t just about “hard pressure.” It’s a focused technique that requires training and knowledge of anatomy to ensure safe and effective treatment. It can be particularly helpful when incorporated into a broader recovery or wellness plan.
