Deep Tissue Massage

If you are an athlete with a high daily demand on your body or you are recovering from an injury or illness, it is likely that the benefits of deep tissue massage have some favours to offer you; Massages have been used for thousands of years around the world to reduce physical and psychological stress.

#1 Better workouts.

Relaxed, less stressed muscles will give you increased range of motion during your workouts. Your body will be far more efficient at building muscle and burning calories.

#2 Relaxed state of mind.

Research has shown that massage helps lower levels of stress hormones while at the same time boosting those “feel good” neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins.

#3 Better sleep. 

Not only will regular massage help you feel good, you’ll also sleep better due to less pain and a boost in serotonin.

#4 Eliminate Pain.

Deep tissue massage will work out the knots from stressed, overworked muscles and connective tissue (fascia) to alleviate immediate pain, as well as chronic joint and muscle pain. It also promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

#5 Improve Overall Health.

In addition to benefiting muscle and tissue health, deep tissue massage positively affects your overall health by decreasing blood pressure and improving lung function.
