This massage technique uses slower movement and deep pressure, focusing on areas of discomfort. It is designed to ease pain and muscle stress. Deep tissue massage reaches the innermost layer of muscles, tendons, and fascia (connective tissue). The objective in deep tissue massage is to breakdown adhesions which trigger discomfort, pain, swelling, and limit motion of the joints and muscles.

These might be any areas the athlete has actually been experiencing discomfort, the restricted variety of movement, tightness, or reduced function. Sport massage techniques may include therapeutic stretching, trigger point massage, and percussive methods in order to enhance blood circulation and minimize muscle stiffness.
Motor vehicle accident(MVA): massage work on injuries by decreasing inflammation, reducing pain, improving your range of motion, and relaxing muscles. Massage stimulates healing of MVA injuries such as whiplash, neck and back injuries, headaches, and muscle spasms. Massage also strengthens your immune system and relieves stress, anxiety, and other emotional symptoms that often arise following an accident.
When you get into an accident, your muscles contract to “protect” you. Unfortunately, they may be traumatized after the accident and stay in that contracted state. When your muscles stay contracted over a long period of time, they can cause pain and a decreased range of motion. Traumatized muscles may also pinch nerves that cause tingling, numbness, and weakness in the limbs. This muscular trauma only gets worse if it’s never properly treated. Regardless of how long it’s been since your car accident, massage therapy can help address that muscular trauma and improve your recovery.
