Therapeutic Massage: Deep-tissue tension relief

Background


Colorado is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and deep-tissue therapeutic massage is a haven for Coloradans. Deep Tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury including relieving scar tissue.

Benefits

By lengthening the connective tissues and deep layered muscles, this therapeutic massage will provide you with:

• significant pain relief
• greater freedom of movement
• more fluid sense of balance
• improved flexibility and function of joints and connective muscle tissues

What to expect

Alvino Massage takes pride in being able to provide the pressure you need for a comfortable experience. There are many deep tissue massages in the world that simply don’t go deep enough for you to feel the effect. Transversely, there are those who simply dig deep in to you with the hope that they will press out your problems, regardless of your comfort. We will always stay in communication with you during your massage. You can get a deep and therapeutic massage without unnecessary discomfort.

A typical session starts with basic Swedish techniques to warm up fascia and the superficial muscle. This step will help ensure that your body is ready to welcome body work. Working the superficial layers like this helps eliminate the discomfort that often happens when you get deep therapy too quickly.

After your body is warmed up, your Alvino Massage practitioner will gradually work in to deep tissue strokes designed to loosen and free muscles of light congestions. Only then will we really start examining your deeper muscles for taut bands, trigger points, scar tissue and other potential issues. Again, we will always work within your discomfort threshold. Once the deep therapies have been completed, we will use strokes specifically intended to smoothing you out.

Before your Deep Tissue routine ends, we will massage your neck, hands, head, or feet to bring you to an even deeper relaxed state.
