Signs You Need A Deep Tissue Massage

At Delta Physiotherapy, we believe in the healing power of a deep tissue massage. 

You may ask, “what is a deep tissue massage?” It is a style of massage that focuses on working tension out of sore muscles through a series of kneading and rubbing motions performed on the body by a skilled therapist. 

While a deep tissue massage can be an indulgent form of self-care, this style of massage can also heal the body of a variety of different ailments. 

In our books, this makes deep tissue massage a great option for anyone who wants to feel good. Having said that, if you’re looking for a few key indicators that can help you determine if this is the right massage for you, here are signs that you need a deep tissue massage. 

Persistent Headaches

Do you suffer from persistent headaches? Do you feel like you’re doing everything right to get rid of your headaches but it’s just not working? 

If so, it might be time to look into how a deep tissue massage can help with headaches. 

Headaches can directly result from muscle tension, especially in the shoulder, neck, and back. If you spend a lot of time hunched over a computer or tend to hold tension in your shoulders when stressed, there’s a strong possibility that your headaches can easily be relieved with a professional deep tissue massage. 

Recurring Back, Neck, and Hip Pain

On that note, any pain that you’re experiencing in your back, neck, or hips can be addressed by a deep tissue massage. 

Not only will a deep tissue massage work to relax the muscles, but you’ll also be stimulating blood flow, which can be hugely therapeutic. 

Don’t let the pain in your back, neck, and hips linger. Get a deep tissue massage and watch as the pain magically starts to dissipate. 

Stiff Muscles

For many of us, sitting for extended periods is just a part of our routine, but unfortunately, the more we do this, the stiffer our muscles become. 

Deep tissue massage can help by stimulating the muscles and promoting blood flow that might otherwise be more sedentary during the work week. 

Even if you have an active job, stiff muscles can still be a concern. If you exercise frequently, you might find that your muscles become even stiffer, especially if you’re not stretching properly.

Bottom line, stiff muscles are hard to avoid. Deep tissue massage can help. 

Consistent Stress

We always recommend that clients who undergo consistent stress book regular deep tissue massages with us. 

Muscle tension and stress go hand in hand. If you are stressed consistently, then there’s a good chance that your muscles are also tensed. 

We want to help loosen up these muscles to avoid pain and muscle stiffness. Doing so might not reduce stress, but it will reduce pain in times of stress. 

How a Deep Tissue Massage Can Help

Deep tissue massage benefits are extensive. Some of the benefits that clients discuss most often include: 

• Reduced pain

In general, clients feel better after their deep tissue massage, both physically and mentally.
