Deep Tissue Massage - Houston
Do you have areas on your body that are particularly tight and tense? Have you tried other, softer massage techniques? Deep tissue massages, sometimes referred to as rolfing or myofacial, are stronger and are well suited for those difficult areas on your body which other massage techniques have not been able to alleviate. It goes deeper to relieve stress in your body’s musculature. Call a Massage Heights Houston retreat today to schedule your first massage.
Our therapists are Licensed Massage Therapists (LMT) and are trained in how to effectively utilize their body in applying a firmer deeper massage—one which loosens the muscles and fascia. The degree of application and pressure during a session is aided by the correct use and posture of the therapists’ body. The technique is commonly characterized as deep, gradual, firm pressure, and sometimes involves the elbows, forearm, or knuckles of the therapist.
The benefits of deep tissue massage are similar of course to other types of massage: increased circulation, stress relief, reduction in pain, increased range of motion, fewer muscle spasms, and a release of endorphins (the body’s natural pain killers). In addition, many people store emotional stress in their body, for example in the shoulders and neck area, and a massage of this technique can alleviate and release the emotional body tension that has been stored in your body.
Most of our massages utilize multiple techniques to get your body feeling great. Talk with your massage therapist about the problem areas of your body and what you are trying to achieve with a massage. Often deep tissue massage will be utilized to target particularly difficult areas, and another technique for the rest of the body. Contact us today to find out how we can help relax and rejuvenate your body.
