Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.

The purpose is to "unstick" the fibres of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia.

Deep tissue massage is used to:

Release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or
   friction applied across the grain of the muscles
Helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue
Focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the
  massage - if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day
  or two.
