Benefits of A Deep Tissue Massage
Pain Relief: Deep tissue massage effectively manages conditions like neck pain, low back pain, knee pain, sciatica, thoracic outlet syndrome and more.
Injury Recovery: Deep tissue massage helps break down scar tissue and “knots” (adhesions) that form after surgery for sports injuries, restoring movement and flexibility.
Improved Mobility: Deep tissue massage realigns deeper muscle layers to correct postural issues caused by long periods of sitting or repetitive movements.
Cardiovascular Health: Research indicates deep tissue massage can help lower high blood pressure and heart rate by easing systemic stress and tension held in the body.
Hormonal Balance: Deep tissue massage lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol while boosting the “feel-good” neurotransmitters like serotonin and oxytocin.
Deep Tissue History
The roots of deep tissue manipulation can be traced back thousands of years to ancient civilizations. Records from Egypt, China and India describe the use of “firm pressure” to treat injuries and balance body energy.
During the 20th century, Canadian physiotherapist Therese Pfrimmer is widely credited with formally developing deep tissue massage in the 1940’s after using deep pressure to rehabilitate her own partial paralysis.
Deep tissue massage gained mainstream popularity in the 1980’s as a distinct clinical approach for addressing chronic tension and is widely practiced all over the world.
