Massage therapy is focused on regaining normal muscle and soft tissue flexibility to alleviate pain and assist with recovery from an injury or to help prevent an injury. It is particularly helpful for people who have chronic tightness and stiffness.

 

When chronic muscle tension or injury is present, adhesions are formed in the muscle tissues, tendons and ligaments.  Adhesions can inhibit circulation, limit movement and cause pain. Deep tissue massage works to break down these adhesions and restore movement by increasing blood flow to the tissues, assisting with scar tissue breakdown, and encouraging lymphatic drainage of swelling and waste products.
