What is a Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a style of massage that addresses superficial and deep muscle groups to increase circulation, improve range of motion and align muscle tissue and fascia.  Once muscle tissue is slowly warmed,  therapists use slow, sustained 

strokes, gradually increased leverage, and friction across the muscle grain to release chronic muscle tension. Deep tissue massage is very effective for many athletes, individuals with dense muscle tissue, and people who find Swedish massage to be too stimulating to the nervous system.
