Baltimore Sports Recovery is excited to offer its Baltimore, Maryland patients deep tissue massage therapy to target specific areas of tension and relieve chronic aches. Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle, fascia, connective tissue and even tendons in the body where tension might be held.
Rather than focus on the “full body,” Baltimore massage therapists administering deep tissue massage will instead focus their efforts on specific areas needing muscle tension relief. The massage therapist will use slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle. He or she may even employ knuckles or elbows to get into small spaces and relieve “knotted” or scarred muscle tissue.
