Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, upper and low back pain and stiffness, sore shoulders, tired and aching legs.

At Alpha Chiropractic & Sports Injury Clinic, our two deep tissue massage therapists have tons of experience and expertise in treating sports and non sports enthusiasts’ problems.

How Does Deep Tissue Massage Work?

When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation.

Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles.

Conditions treated include:

• Chronic and acute upper and low back pain

• Limited mobility

• Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)

• Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome

• Postural problems

• Ostearthritis pain

• Fibromyalgia

• Muscle tension or spasm
