-
Stripping – Use slow, deep muscle sheath strokes, and long muscle sheath flexors to help loosen a sheath arrest.

Petrissage – A kneading technique where the therapist lifts, rolls, and squeezes the muscle tissue. This helps release tension and improve muscle flexibility.
-
Myofascial Release – Focus on the unwinding of the closing over the connective tissue.

Trigger Point Therapy – Involves putting pressure over the points of the body.

Elbow and Forearm Pressure – To reach deeper layers of muscle tissue, therapists may use their elbows or forearms. This allows them to apply more focused pressure without straining their hands.

FAQs About Deep Tissue Massage
Here are some frequently asked questions about deep tissue massage in Denver:
How often should I get a deep tissue massage?
This is dependent on your activity levels and muscle tension. If you are highly active or suffer from chronic pain, weekly sessions will be beneficial. If you are relatively active, a massage per month is more than enough.
Does deep tissue massage hurt?
Deep tissue massage involves applying firm pressure to the muscles. This may feel intense and uncomfortable at times due to the pressure and the work being performed to relieve muscle tightness. However, the experience should never be one of pain.
Can deep tissue massage prevent injuries?
Absolutely! Getting deep tissue massages on a consistent basis releases muscle tightness and improves flexibility and blood flow. This, in turn, improves long-term muscle health and reduces the chance of injuries.
Will deep tissue massage help with chronic pain?
Yes, chronic pain caused by tight muscles, strains, or injuries caused by repetitive motions go away with deep tissue massages. A deep tissue massage releases muscle knots, increases circulation, and decreases inflammation. These things relieve pain.
