Benefits of a deep tissue massage
1. Chronic Pain Relief
Deep tissue massage is highly effective for reducing chronic pain, especially in the lower back, neck, and shoulders. By applying sustained pressure to break down painful muscle adhesions (knots), it addresses the root cause of long-term aches and stiffness.
2. Improved Mobility & Range of Motion
By releasing tight muscles and the surrounding connective tissue (fascia), this massage technique can significantly improve flexibility and restore a greater range of motion. This is beneficial for correcting postural issues and making everyday movements easier and pain-free.
3. Stress Reduction & Lower Blood Pressure
While relaxing, the benefits go deeper. Studies have shown that deep tissue massage can help lower blood pressure and reduce levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This promotes a profound sense of physical and mental well-being that lasts beyond the session.
4. Accelerated Muscle Recovery
This therapy is ideal for athletes or anyone recovering from physical strain. It increases blood flow to the muscles, which helps reduce inflammation and flush out lactic acid. This process speeds up the healing of strained muscles and can help break down scar tissue from previous injuries.
What to Expect During Your Deep Massage
Your session at Step Above Massage begins with a consultation at our Raleigh or Wake Forest studio to discuss your specific areas of pain and tension. Your therapist will use slow, deliberate strokes and firm pressure to target deep layers of muscle and fascia. You may feel some intensity, but the pressure should never be painful. Communication is key, and your therapist will work with you to ensure the treatment is both effective and comfortable.
4 important tips to know before getting deep tissue massage
1. Hydrate Before You Go
Don’t wait until after your massage to drink water. Being well-hydrated before your session makes your muscle tissue more pliable and easier for the therapist to work on. This can make the massage more effective and less uncomfortable, while also preparing your body to flush out the metabolic waste that is released during the treatment.
2. Be Prepared to Communicate
This is not a time to be silent and stoic. Your massage therapist needs your feedback. Before you begin, tell them about specific areas of pain, past injuries, and your goals for the session. During the massage, speak up immediately if the pressure is too intense or causes sharp pain. An effective deep tissue massage is a partnership between you and your therapist.
3. Expect Discomfort, Not Agony
A deep tissue massage is designed to work on deeper layers of muscle and fascia, which means you will likely feel more intensity than during a relaxation massage. The sensation is often described as a “good hurt”—a therapeutic discomfort as the therapist works on tight knots. However, it should never be excruciating. If you find yourself tensing up or holding your breath, the pressure is probably too much.
4. Plan for a Low-Key Post-Massage Period
It’s best to treat a deep tissue massage like a workout for your body. Plan to take it easy for the rest of the day. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or a stressful activity immediately afterward. Instead, allow your body time to rest and integrate the therapeutic work. A gentle walk, a warm Epsom salt bath, and continued hydration are excellent ways to maximize the benefits.
