Series Summary

Deep tissue massages are reserved for more localized massage and focus on the deeper muscles of the soft tissue. A Masseuse will usually start by massaging the upper layers of a joint, muscle or muscle group and then work down to the deeper tissue. If this technique is not used, muscles may tighten to protect the area and inflammation may lead to damage of the area. Techniques often used during this type of massage include a flat elbow, opposing thumbs, the heel of the hand and the use of the forearm.
