Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage modality that mainly is used to treat strains, sports injuries and other musculoskeletal issues. A Deep Tissue Massage consists of sustained pressure using very slow and very deep strokes to focus on the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This not only will help to reduce tension in your muscles and in your tissues, but it can also help break up scar tissue that forms following an injury. A Deep Tissue Massage will increase your blood flow which can also aid in reducing inflammation and may also promote faster healing.

While other types of massage mainly focus on relaxation, a Deep Tissue Massage not only helps to treat stiffness and muscle pain but can also offer benefits that are both physical and psychological. It has been noted that those who receive regular Deep Tissue Massages have been able to reduce the pain of the chronic low back and have likened the effects to those of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen or Advil.

A hot stone massage will be given to conclude your Deep Tissue Massage experience at Massage by Note. Basalt stones will be prepared and heated before your arrival and will be placed on either side of your spine to promote a deep healing experience. Basalt stones have been chosen because they are rocks that are rich in iron so they will retain heat for long periods of time. The Basalt River rocks have been carefully chosen because they have been smoothed over time by the flowing of the rivers current and will provide deep healing to the tissues and muscles that commonly cause discomfort.
