What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

• Deep tissue massage is similar to Swedish
  massage, but there are a few key differences that
  you should know. A deep tissue massage focuses on
  the deepest layers of your muscle tissue. A
  reflexologist uses strokes that can break down
  scar tissue and take care of muscle knots. This
  form of massage also focuses on the tendons and
  fascia, which is a protective layer found around
  your muscles, joints, and bones.
• To start off, your massage therapist will
  generally start with lighter pressure and strokes
  to better prep the muscles for a deep tissue
  massage. Then they can move on to a few common
  techniques that require a combination of friction
  and pressure. A reflexologist can use slow
  deliberate strokes and their hands, fingers, or
  even elbows to alleviate pain and deal with knots
  in the muscle tissue.

The History of Deep Tissue Massage

• Ancients civilizations in locations ranging from
  the Far East to Greece have known the benefits of
  deep tissue massage. The method as we know it
  takes some cues from these old techniques and was
  invented in the mid-1800s by Canadian physicians.
  Therese Phimmer, a Canadian doctor, developed an
  official guide for therapists who wished to help
  their patients with deep tissue massages. From
  there it came to prominence in a number of
  fields, from sports medicine to physical therapy.
