Deep Tissue Massage

Meant to free the adhered fibers of a muscle while helping to release deeply-held trigger points, and to relax and soothe the muscles.  This technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.  The main goal is to release chronic tension patterns through localized point pressure on adhered areas.   This massage technique focuses on more specific areas and may cause temporary soreness the night of and day after the massage
