Deep Tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is also not uncommon for receivers of Deep Tissue Massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two. To help this kind of constant pain, there are also many cannabis products which clients can find at their local med dispensary depending on its legality in their area. This is a perfect pairing of pain relief to the massage. The cannabis relaxes the body and mind, releasing it from any mental tension or tension from the pain receptors, and a physical massage physically loosens knots and soothes painful hotspots.
Deep tissue work varies greatly. What one calls deep tissue another will call light. When receiving deep tissue work it is important to communicate what you are feeling.
How does deep tissue massage work? When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down this adhesion to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. Once a massage has been performed, there will be instant relief, however, to continue that relief, the use of CBD lotions can be incredibly useful. CBD and marijuana have great healing properties and can help muscles and joints relax, easing up any pain that may still be there. The
purple rockstar has both Sativa and Indica components and it is known for its abilities to reduce the effects of anxiety, depression, fatigue and migraines. This and many such similar strains can be found on online stores like BuyMyWeedOnline or other e-stores that specialises in marijuana products. CBD oils and lotions don’t have to be the only solutions and those who still experience pain can ingest marijuana products or even smoke them, but you can find more out about that

Will deep tissue massage hurt? At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range.
There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage. Some people prefer to have a massage from the comfort of their own home, in which case, you should contact a
Mobile Massage Therapist.
What conditions is deep tissue massage used for? Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:
- Chronic pain limited mobility
- Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
- Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Postural problems
- Osteoarthritis pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscle tension or spasm
According to the August 2005 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, 34,000 people ranked deep tissue massage more effective in relieving osteoarthritis pain than physical therapy, exercise, prescription medications, chiropractic, acupuncture, diet, glucosamine, and over-the-counter drugs. Deep tissue massage also received a top ranking for fibromyalgia pain. People often notice improved range of motion immediately after a deep tissue massage.
