A full hour of this type of deep tissue therapeutic massage allows your therapist to target the deeper layers of your muscles and connective tissue. Your massage therapist will aim to release any chronic muscle tension and inflammation you may have contributing to pain and stress. Since everyone’s threshold for pressure varies, your therapist will customize your visit for your specific requirements. Whether you are a regular or this is your first massage, once your massage is underway, a whole range of beneficial reactions are set in motion.
