Deep Tissue

---

A Deep Tissue Massage Session at Aura Massage and Skincare targets the profound layers of connective tissue and muscles throughout the body. Employing deliberate, slow strokes to apply pressure, this massage focuses on specific areas experiencing pain and tension. Injuries or persistent muscle tension can lead to the formation of adhesions, commonly known as knots, within tendons, ligaments, and muscles. These adhesions are rigid, often causing pain and obstructing proper blood circulation, impeding natural movement, and inducing inflammation. The deep massage of muscles enhances blood flow throughout the body. Improved blood circulation mitigates inflammation, subsequently alleviating pain. Deep tissue massage effectively breaks down adhesions, restoring natural movement and reducing pain. Consistent massage sessions can even disintegrate or eliminate the presence of scar tissue.

Deep Tissue Massage is effective in reducing tension and stress, resulting in a potential decrease in blood pressure. A study by the University of Maryland Medical Center suggests that individuals may experience a drop in blood pressure of up to 5.3 mm Hg after a deep massage session.

The pressure applied during a deep massage enhances lymphatic circulation and promotes drainage, leading to an improved range of motion and increased flexibility. Due to these advantages, this massage type is often recommended for individuals who have recently undergone surgery. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before opting for massage therapy. Some individuals may require a healing period before massage is considered safe or appropriate.

Deep tissue massages can also provide relief to injured muscles. The session involves manipulating and relaxing the muscles by stretching twisted or tight muscle mass. As a result, deep tissue massages prove particularly advantageous for athletes dealing with a range of sports-related injuries.

In the course of the massage session, the Massage Therapist utilizes hands, elbows, fingertips, knuckles, or forearms to stimulate the muscles and alleviate adhesions. The deliberate pace of this massage type ensures that each muscle receives optimal care. Guests may be prompted to take deep breaths, particularly when targeting tense areas. Deep breathing provides ample oxygen to the muscles and can alleviate discomfort.

An expert Aura Massage therapist can formulate a comprehensive and personalized therapy plan based on individual needs, underscoring the significance of the initial consultation in the process. No two sessions are identical, as they are tailored to address the specific concerns of each guest.
