Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Our deep tissue massage therapy is designed to target chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body’s surface. At Ataraxia this specialized massage technique involves slow strokes and direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle grain, effectively addressing areas of persistent pain and stiffness.
Deep tissue massage focuses on breaking down adhesions, which are bands of painful, rigid tissue in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. By physically breaking down these adhesions, deep tissue massage helps to relieve pain and restore normal movement.
Our skilled massage therapists use their fingers, thumbs, and sometimes elbows to apply the necessary pressure. This method is particularly effective for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. While some strokes may be similar to those used in classic massage, the movements in deep tissue massage are slower and the pressure is more intense, focusing on specific areas of tension and pain.
Deep tissue massage is ideal for individuals experiencing chronic pain, limited mobility, or recovering from injuries. It is also beneficial for those with repetitive strain injuries, osteoarthritis pain, fibromyalgia, and muscle spasms.
Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking relief from muscle tension, our deep tissue massage therapy can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
