Deep tissue massage works to the deepest level of our muscles. Inside of us are basically two layers of muscle; superficial, which are near the surface and deep muscle which are below the superficial layer. When muscles are healthy, they slide freely and work efficiently. However, when the fibres stick together, either through chronic tension or injury they become less efficient and reduce mobility of the limb they are controlling.
The benefit of deep tissue massage is to release the fibres of a muscle and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. It releases deeply held patterns of tension, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic and also removes toxins trapped in the muscle. It feels good and is beneficial to your health.
The purpose of DTM is to unstick the fibres of a muscle which have adhered together after injury or through chronic tension. It gets blood and oxygen circulating properly and releases deeply held patterns of tension, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic and also removes toxins trapped in the
muscle.
It feels good and is beneficial to your health. When muscles are
stressed,
through chronic tension, they often become fibrous and hard, sometimes known as knots. This can lead to inflammation that builds up in the muscle tissue. Because many toxins are released during deep tissue massage, it's important to drink plenty of water after a session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

DTM focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and connective tissue.
DTM helps to break down and eliminate scar tissue, which is fibrous tissue caused as a result of the natural healing process after injury. Most people do not realise they have fibrous tissue in their muscles until they are massaged in this way. The massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.

sports massage
it increases efficiency and flexibility of the muscle or muscles in the group; for example in the shoulder region. This type of massage can be very suitable for people who take part in sporting activities, especially contact sports. Improved sporting performance will be achieved in this way. After injury and after the pain and swelling have gone, deep tissue massage breaks down scar tissue caused by the injury and brings the muscle back to full working order. Often injuries appear to have been mended on the outside but internally there is muscle scarring and consequently muscle weakness.
