Deep Tissue Therapy

Deep tissue therapy is based on layered tissue work, aiming to release persistent tension within the human body. This method allows for an energy-efficient and highly effective approach to address muscle and fascial tension associated with musculoskeletal dysfunctions and postural issues. Deep tissue massage is often misunderstood and wrongly associated with strong and painful manipulation of muscles. In reality, the technique does not necessarily involve exerting strong pressure on tissues and can be gentle and mild. Each movement is executed very slowly, with great precision and appropriately adjusted pressure.

The goals of deep tissue massage include:

Pain reduction
Normalization of muscle and fascial tension
Restoration of better posture
Improvement in range of motion

I support the massage by engaging the patient’s breath and encourage active participation in the process.

Indications for deep tissue massage:

Chronic muscle pain
Reduced joint mobility
Tendon and muscle contractures
Post-immobilization conditions
Skin conditions (nutritional disorders, postoperative scars)
Plantar fasciitis
Sciatica
Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow
Spinal pain syndrome
Frozen shoulder
Tension headaches
Postural abnormalities
Muscular system diseases (prevention and treatment of muscle atrophy, relaxation of respiratory muscles, post-traumatic conditions, muscle atrophy/weakness/paralysis)

Contraindications:

Fever, viral infections
Inflammatory conditions
Nerve compression
Tumors
Inflammation of veins
Early periods after severe injuries
Inflammation of fascia
Calcification and ossification.
