Deep tissue massage is one of the most effective and safest techniques to get rid of connective tissue deformities. It provides deep muscle development that can’t be achieved with the other techniques. The Royal Thai Spa salons pay special attention to such services, and connective tissue massage is performed by specialists with great experience.
About half of the human body is made up of connective tissue. It supports and connects all the organs. When people lead a sedentary lifestyle or get injured, sooner or later this manifests itself in inflammation of the fascia and tension, and poor circulation. When muscles become weak in one area, other parts of the body are affected. That's why it's so important to pay attention to your health and include a deep tissue massage in your routine, at least occasionally.
The main goal of this technique is to restore the normal shape of tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Essentially, we are talking about the work with so-called “squeezed” tissues. This method is often used for back and lower back pain. Deep tissue massage targets inflamed fascia, eliminating muscle tension and pain.
One of the main indications for soft tissue injuries massage is myofascial syndrome. This technique is also recommended for:
- osteochondrosis, scoliosis;
- cerebral palsy;
- rehabilitation after stroke, various operations, and injuries;
- respiratory diseases;
- metabolic disorders and in many other cases.
Soft tissue massage can also be used for frequent headaches, nervous exhaustion, and to relax the body in stressful situations. It is prescribed as an additional tool to physiotherapy and exercise therapy.
