2. What Is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish massage, but there are a few key differences that you should know. A deep tissue massage focuses on the deepest layers of your muscle tissue. A reflexologist uses strokes that can break down scar tissue and take care of muscle knots. This form of massage also focuses on the tendons and fascia, which is a protective layer found around your muscles, joints, and bones.
To start off, your massage therapist will generally start with lighter pressure and strokes to better prep the muscles for a deep tissue massage. Then they can move on to a few common techniques that require a combination of friction and pressure. A reflexologist can use slow deliberate strokes and their hands, fingers, or even elbows to alleviate pain and deal with knots in the muscle tissue.

3. The History of Deep Tissue Massage
Ancients civilizations in locations ranging from the Far East to Greece have known the benefits of deep tissue massage. The method as we know it takes some cues from these old techniques and was invented in the mid-1800s by Canadian physicians. Therese Phimmer, a Canadian doctor, developed an official guide for therapists who wished to help their patients with deep tissue massages. From there it came to prominence in a number of fields, from sports medicine to physical therapy.

4. Why Choose Deep Tissue Massage?
There are many benefits to choosing a Deep tissue massage. This technique can help anyone living with chronic muscle pain. A deep tissue massage releases tension.
