The muscles must be relaxed in order to effectively perform deep-tissue massage, otherwise tight muscles prevent the therapist from reaching deeper layer of the muscles. Commonly deep tissue massage is used to treat chronic aches and pains in the legs, glutes, quads, back, neck and shoulders.

Deep Tissue massage therapists require advanced training and a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. It is an intense but effective treatment ideal for relieving the source of the tension, whether it is caused by sports, bad posture, stress or injury.
