What is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep tissue massage is a specific type of massage that uses slow strokes and sustained pressure to relieve tension in the inner layers of muscles, and helps to break up scar tissue that forms in connective tissue after injury. It is primarily used to treat musculoskeletal problems and promote recovery from injuries due to sports or other vigorous physical activities.
