Deep Tissue Massage

To receive a deep tissue massage, it is recommended to visit a Medical SPA where it is guaranteed that the treatment is performed by a qualified professional with sufficient knowledge.

Specifically, in the case of deep tissue massages, the manipulation must penetrate the 4 types of tissues: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nerve tissue. When the intensive massage or deep massage is effectively performed on these tissues, the results are wonderful for clients with muscle pain or chronic stress over time.

The goals of deep tissue massage are:

Treat muscle tension, especially when the user experiences intense and prolonged pain over time.

Loosen the stiff fibers that form in the muscles, while the deep massage eliminates the knots that form.

The deep massage relieves prolonged stress situations over time, which are causes of pain and muscle tension.

Treat through deep tissue manipulation using massages, tissues that are deeper beneath the skin, especially in the inner layers of the muscles.

The deep tissue self-massage is a common therapy used by clients through electronic massagers or percussive massage guns, which are very popular in the market.

While it is true that massaging devices are capable of applying quick and vigorous pressure on specific points, the result of these deep massages is not comparable to a deep tissue therapy applied by a professional, especially because the user typically does not know how to reach the knots and nerves or hidden areas in the inner surfaces of the muscles.

Relieve intense pain: Deep tissue therapy or deep tissue massages is capable of eliminating or significantly relieving lower back pain and muscle pain that the client often experiences for extended periods.

Relief from muscle knots: Continuous work in improper postures, such as office jobs and computer use, causes knots in the front areas of the spine as well as in the wrist. Deep tissue massage in the wrist or deep tissue lumbar massage is very helpful for undoing these knots and relieving intense pain.

Increase in blood flow: Deep tissue massage is used for clients engaged in physically demanding work as well as athletes, due to its ability to speed up recovery. Deep tissue massage accelerates the flow of nutrients to the muscles.

Shoulder injury recovery: The effectiveness of deep tissue massage for treating shoulder injuries is well documented. These types of injuries affect the mobility of the client's arm and are intensive in muscle pain. With a few well-dosed deep tissue sessions from a professional at our Medical Spa, it could enable a quick recovery from shoulder pain as well as contribute to mobility recovery through massage.

The deep tissue massage is one of the most painful massage therapies within the therapeutic range offered at our Medical SPA. The level of deep tissue manipulation as well as physical treatment on the front areas of the muscles can cause some discomfort for the user after a deep tissue massage session. However, as these discomforts subside, the client will notice substantial relief from their persistent muscle pain.

Due to the intensity of therapeutic deep tissue massage, it is very important for the professional to have enough time to perform a progressive massage. For this reason, deep tissue massage sessions have a duration of no less than 60 minutes.

Step 1 Client Comfort:

The professional at our Medical SPA will provide the necessary conditions for you to feel very comfortable. Comfort is influenced by the physical environment of our Medical SPA, but also by creating a situation of trust and protection.

Step 2 Application of Natural Massage Oils:

Carefully selecting deep tissue massage oils, we gently apply these products to the areas that will be treated, especially the user's pain points. The application of special massage oils is done with a relaxation method that influences the client's comfort and focuses on the most affected areas. Unplanned massage therapies at incorrect times disrupt the steps and result in deep tissue massage sessions that are very painful for the client.

To activate or accelerate blood flow through a Swedish massage, percussion movements are used. During this stage of the Swedish massage, the goal is to dissipate the points where the previous movements have concentrated during the massage session. The dissipation is achieved with repeated and gentle taps combined with short and precise kneading movements.

If the client expresses sharp pains or prolonged muscle tension points over time, our professional massage therapists will apply friction and kneading movements with a bit more depth during the Swedish massage session.

Step 3 Deep Tissue Massage:

After locating the areas, the intensity of the deep tissue massage is applied with the fingertips and palm of the hand, penetrating deep into the damaged and less exposed areas or those further from the skin. By locating knots and adhesions that cause muscle tension, our certified therapists can perform the deep tissue massage without it being a traumatic or painful session.

Step 4 Post-Massage Relaxation:

It is the final stage of the deep tissue massage useful for eliminating tensions caused by the manipulation of deep tissue massage itself. It is a highly valued stage that requires the necessary and optimal time to promote the client's well-being after the deep tissue therapeutic session.

Deep tissue massage sessions are a continuous therapy over time, and it is recommended not to apply isolated deep tissue massages. Studies confirm that deep tissue therapies are applied through a series of sessions within a timeframe of approximately 6 weeks.

Deep tissue massage sessions are effective from the first session. After the discomfort generated by the deep tissue massage sessions disappears, the user will notice a substantial improvement in both the intensity of chronic pain and in the recovery of movement. Precisely the early effectiveness of deep tissue massage often leads to the discontinuation of massage therapies, which is a common mistake among clients, as to permanently eliminate muscle tension, it is recommended to complete the sessions scheduled by the professional at the Medical SPA.

Symptoms after a deep tissue massage

Due to the intensity of deep tissue and its effects, it is normal for the user to experience drowsiness and mild discomfort in the areas worked after a deep tissue massage session. These symptoms are completely normal, but if there are any other symptoms, feel free to contact us at our Medical SPA and we will be happy to advise you.

The deep tissue massage should not affect the client or cause collateral damage. However, due to the effects of deep tissue therapy manipulation, occasionally users may experience bruises, but this is very rare, especially when the deep tissue massage is performed by a certified massage therapist at our Medical SPA.
