Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

See some common questions and answers below
  • Reduce Stress, Anxiety And Muscle Tension

    Inflammation caused by chronic stress and muscle tension can worsen overall health, prolong recovery time, reduce immune function and cardiovascular problems, such as high blood pressure. Studies have found that massage therapy can help reduce cortisol levels and even increase the production of the hormone oxytocin, which relaxes the body and has calming effects.

    Oxytocin is the main hormone responsible for maintaining social bonds in humans and increasing the motivation for cooperative behaviours, so it is often called “hug hormone” and is known to be released during hugs, birth, social bond, and Contact.

    Several mechanisms for the natural effects of stress relief with the benefits of deep tissue massage include its ability to dilate blood vessels and also less activity of the limbic system (including the hypothalamus), which is responsible for autonomic regulation of the nervous system and the secretion of cortisol. It has been shown that massage improves relaxation by increasing the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, as measured by heart rate, blood pressure and variability of heart rate.


  • What are the benefits of deep tissue massage?

    Deep tissue massage will relive both body & mind with both physical & psychological benefits. Deep tissue massage helps to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness. But it can still help to you unwind mentally, too.

    A 2014 study involving 59 participants found that deep tissue massage helped to reduce pain in people with chronic low back. The authors likened its effects to those of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (Advil).


  • Treat Chronic Back Pain

    A study that compared the effectiveness of two different types of massage to treat chronic back pain, therapeutic massage versus the benefits of deep tissue massage (DTM), found that DTM treatment over the course of 10 days produced significantly better improvements in the pain compared to therapeutic massage.

    In this particular study, the therapeutic massage included beating and friction techniques, while DTM used oblique pressure and a combination of stretching and cross-strokes of fibre. All sessions lasted 30 minutes and were performed daily and all participants received no other treatment during the study. After 10 days, participants treated with DTM reported significant improvements in pain (low back pain in this case) compared to those treated with therapeutic massage, modified back pain disability index scores, the disability scale of Quebec back pain and the visual analogue Scales.

    Other studies have shown similar findings. One study even found that DTM treatment alone had such a positive effect in reducing pain in patients with chronic symptoms.

  • Help Reduce High Blood Pressure

    One study found that the benefits of deep tissue massage had positive effects on systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure readings in adults with symptoms of pain and high blood pressure.

    The study involved 263 volunteers with an average age of 48.5. The global muscle spasm/muscle distension was described as moderate or severe for each patient before the treatments, which consisted of a massage lasting 45–60 minutes. The results showed a reduction in mean systolic pressure of 10.4 mm/Hg, a reduction in diastolic pressure of 5.3 mm/Hg, a reduction in mean arterial pressure of 7.0 mm/Hg and a reduction in The average heart rate of 10.8 beats per minute after the massage treatment.


  • Scar Tissue

    The benefits of deep tissue massage are often used after injuries to help break up newly formed scar tissue that can hinder recovery and produce stiffness. It has been shown that massage helps reduce inflammation and muscle spasms by stimulating blood flow, relaxing the muscles to allow more oxygen and also helps reduce the automatic response to the stress of the nervous system.

    After an injury, and especially if it is also a very stressful time, inflammation can prevent adequate blood flow from reaching damaged tissue and can cut off vital nutrients and oxygen. This can cause toxins to accumulate around the damaged tissue, which only increases swelling and pain. Some studies have found that even self-administered massage can help reduce the pain associated with plantar fasciitis and other injuries.


  • Reduces the Symptoms of Arthritis

    According to some specialised institutions, massage is often used to relieve the common symptoms of many types of arthritis, such as chronic joint pain, stiffness, anxiety, limited range of movement in the joints and problems sleeping. Firm massages can be used daily for natural relief, whether performed by a professional or by the patient himself.

    Research shows that firmer massages with more pressure can result in a significant reduction in arthritis pain compared to lighter massages. Lighter massage tends to be exciting (not relaxing) because often the heart rate increases. However, with moderate pressure, the heart rate is usually low, and this stimulates relaxation and reduced tension.

  • Improve Athletic Recovery And Performance

    The research reported the findings of a positive trend for the benefits of deep tissue massage, in terms of improving recovery and athletic performance. The type of deep tissue massage most beneficial to athletes is considered as “sports massage,” which is commonly performed before sporting events to help warm the body and prevent injury or immediately afterwards to improve recovery.

    The report showed that the science of sports massage has become a growing interest in athletes, athletic trainers, coaches and sports physiologists. Studies show that deep tissue massages can help improve lactate clearance, delay the onset of muscle pain, muscle fatigue, injury prevention and treatment of injuries.

    The researchers also point out that there are psychological benefits for athletes who receive massages, which other research shows may include improved focus and confidence. Although more research is still needed on a long-term scale, both tissue healing and the psychological effects of massage are areas that seem promising for both professional and recreational athletes.


  • Pregnancy

    Many pregnant women now turn to alternative/complementary medications to help control labour pain and support a natural delivery process such as the Bradley Method. In fact, surveys show that the most common alternative therapies recommended during pregnancy are massage therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic therapies.

    Some research has shown that massage therapy can be effective during pregnancy due to its lowering effects of anxiety, and women who receive massage before and during labour tend to experience depression, anxiety and pain in the legs and back. The results of a study found that women who received massages before and during labour had significantly less pain, and his works were on average three short hours and required less need for medication.

    Because cortisol levels decrease after the massage and blood flow is improved, pregnant women are also better protected against the excessive fetal activity and the risk of premature delivery.

Delve into the world of holistic healing with Trigger Point Therapy, a specialized branch of Remedial Massage Therapy. This technique involves the targeted application of pressure on specific points in tender muscle tissue. The result? A profound reduction in muscle tension and the alleviation of discomfort.

Every muscle holds the potential for trigger points, which can be activated by various factors such as muscle overuse, inflammation, trauma, electrolyte imbalances, infections, and nerve-related pain. These trigger points can manifest as pain directly over the affected muscle or can radiate, causing discomfort in other areas of the body.

My expertise as a therapist allows me to skillfully identify and address these trigger points. Through precise manipulation, I can provide relief where it's needed most. Some trigger points may only reveal themselves upon direct palpation by the therapist, unveiling hidden sources of tension.

Massage therapy eliminates muscular tightness responsible for triggering pain in other parts of your body.

    Plantar fasciitis is a leading cause of heel pain. It can develop when the band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot — called the plantar fascia — gets inflamed. Plantar fasciitis generally feels like sharp, stabbing pain when you walk, particularly when you first wake up in the morning.


    Trigger point therapy for plantar fasciitis is focused on trigger points in your calf muscle and along the bottom of your foot. When tension is released in your leg and foot, plantar fascia inflammation can decrease, leading to less pain with walking.
