A deeper explanation of deep tissue massage

The science behind deep tissue massage is myofascial release: manipulating and stretching the fascia, a web of specialized connective tissue layer which surrounds muscles, bones, and joints. By releasing muscles and myofascial tissue, we can restore a full range of motion and reduce pain and inflammation.

The benefits of regular deep tissue massage:

  • Loosen muscles that have shortened with repetitive motion (exercise) or posture for improved range of motion and muscle flexibility
  • Improve blood and oxygen flow to muscles to promote recovery.
  • Loosen fascia that connects muscles to ligaments and tendons.
  • Flush lactic acid resulting from exercise.
  • Break up scar tissue that may have built up in muscles or fascia.
  • Reduce the chance of injury, through proper stretching, race preparation and through deep tissue massage.
  • Shorten recovery time between workouts by improving the flow of lymphatic fluid, which aids in healing.
