Deep Tissue Massage Atlanta

Deep tissue massage therapy focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, tightness in the upper and lower back and sore shoulders.

Unlike other therapy techniques geared toward relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:

• Chronic pain
• Tense muscles
• Limited mobility
• Recovery from sports or whiplash injuries
• Repetitive strain-type injuries
• Osteoarthritis pain
• Fibromyalgia (highly effective for alleviating fibromyalgia pain)

Deep tissue massage works by breaking down bands of painful, rigid tissue called adhesions, to relieve pain and restore greater range of motion. To do this, the therapist often uses direct, strong pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles using knuckles, wrists and elbows.

Warming up the muscles is vitally important in with this type of therapy so that the superficial muscle layers aren't injured. At our spa, we offer our very popular hot stone elevation which greatly enhances your experience and delivers a measurably greater result from your session.

Our Hot Stone Elevation is highly recommended during your session and does not detract from your session time. During your treatment, your therapist transfers heat from smooth, round basalt stones to his or her hand and then transfers that heat from their hand your muscles. This sooths and warms the muscle fiber, enabling the therapist to achieve more effective results. The stones are then placed at strategic points along the back and legs and are then and draped with a warm, moist towel so that they can continue to deliver a warming effect to the muscle.

Often, deep tissue massage is considered more effective in relieving osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia pain than physical therapy, exercise, prescription medications, glucosamine and over-the-counter drugs. The most common result is an increased range of motion.

Drinking plenty of water is very important following a deep tissue massage to help flush metabolic waste from the tissues. Massage Heights always provides a complimentary bottle of water after your session.
