Deep tissue therapy is most commonly used for individuals who suffer from high levels of muscle tension. These people require more pressure to help break down the surface tension of the muscle tissue and increase the quality of blood circulation.
This technique uses movements that are slower with deeper pressure over the affected areas.
By realigning deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, deep tissue therapy is especially helpful with chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, lower back tightness and sore shoulders.
