Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on targeting deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues in the body. It is commonly used to alleviate chronic muscle tension, knots, and adhesions caused by stress, injury, or overuse.
During a deep tissue massage, a massage therapist will use slow, deep strokes and firm pressure to apply friction across the muscles and connective tissues. The massage therapist may use their fingers, thumbs, elbows, forearms, or specialized tools to apply pressure.
