Deep tissue massage: This is a massage that focuses very effectively on connecting the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is very helpful for chronic pains in tense areas such as a stiff neck, high and low back pain, leg muscle stiffness and aching shoulders.
The movements are slower and the pressure is higher and concentrated in the areas of stiffness or pain, to reach the lower layer of the muscles and the “facia”, the connecting tissue.
