Massage therapy offers several health benefits, and you can choose from different types of massages for your treatment at a New York spa. One of the more popular is a deep tissue massage.
What is a Deep Tissue Massage?
A deep tissue massage targets issues with your musculoskeletal system, such as the muscles and ligaments. These treatments are ideal for men and women with sports injuries, strains and some types of chronic pain, as well as individuals who want a more intense massage experience. Deep tissue massage has been tied to improve health outcomes for individuals with high blood pressure, overuse injuries and plantar fasciitis.
Benefits of a Deep Tissue Massage
Some of the benefits of a deep tissue massage in New York are:
- Release muscle tension
- Reduce inflammation
- Break down scar tissue
- Improve recovery time and performance
- Boost circulation and healing
How is a Deep Tissue Massage Different Than a Regular Massage?
The massage therapist uses a series of movements with the palms, hands, elbows and forearms to target deeper tissues. For some deep massage treatments, massage therapists may climb onto the massage table to gain the best position for applying pressure to the treatment area. Deep tissue massages can be performed on your entire body, or the therapist can focus on certain areas, such as the back, shoulders or legs. The intensity of a deep tissue massage is greater than a Swedish massage.
