Deep tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. It aims to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction on the contracted areas. Deep tissue techniques are especially effective in alleviating chronic tension in the neck, shoulders and back area.

I always blend deep-tissue techniques with soothing strokes from the Lomi Lomi massage.

Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.
