Description

Deep Tissue Massage is a concept of manual myofascial work. It includes both accurate functional and analytical diagnostics and therapeutic measures to improve health, function and pain relief. It is a way to understand the layered, three-dimensional arrangement of tissues in the body.

Knowledge of anatomy and the ability to use all the components of the DTM concept make it extremely effective in the treatment of ailments of myofascial origin. This type of work is a typical therapeutic approach aimed at reducing pain. It also uses special posture positions, which, combined with tissue work, have a great ability to increase the range of motion of joints and tissues.

All this makes it one of the most effective forms of therapy in cases of chronic ailments and static overload. It is an ideal form of work for people who suffer from pain due to their work or incorrect movement habits. It also works well for athletes who require extreme tissue flexibility so that they do not suffer from overload injuries.

Deep Tissue Massage can be used as a preventive treatment for physically active people. It is also very effective in the case of posture defects. Find out more about the method, techniques and tools of working at DTM.

Deep Tissue Massage as a method

The name of the method The name "Deep Tissue Massage" could suggest a strong and painful effect on the patient's body. In fact, this method turns out to be extremely delicate and subtle. All movements are performed with great precision and, additionally, very slowly. The pressure force is applied to each patient individually - matched to the strength of tissue tension.All this makes the method effective, and the desired effects can be noticed after the first treatment. Such a precise type of work with the patient requires from the therapist exceptionally good palpation and the ability to locate changes in tissues.Theoretical basis of Deep Tissue Massage Deep massage is a therapy that works on the layers and layers of tissues not developed in classic or sports massage. It is also a form of programmed therapy for a patient or athlete tailored to a specific individual, not as in sports massage with repeated sequences of movements that are the same for each athlete. With this technique, it is possible to influence the state of muscle and fascial tension, correct defects and heal dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system.The specificity of working in Deep Tissue Massage The main goal of the procedure is to pay attention to changing the structure and limitations of tissue mobility. In this technique, movements are performed extremely precisely. I work very slowly, giving the tissue time for a physiological response and adaptation to new conditions.Another feature of this type of massage is the use of very little or no lubricants. You work with oblique pressure on the tissues due to the fact that it is better tolerated by the massaged person, besides, the muscle tissue responds well to stretching and shifting, but we cannot afford to press especially against the bone elements.Before the procedure, you need to define the goal you want to achieve and choose the appropriate technique. Work with different parts of the body, such as the elbows or forearms, but absolutely avoid working with your thumbs. An important element in the techniques of deep massage is the palpation sensitivity of the therapist, he must be able to find changes in the tension in the tissues, find muscle grooves and judge when the massage should be finished to obtain a therapeutic effect and at the same time not to overstimulate the tissue.

Deep Tissue Massage - Techniques

Depending on what type of tissue and in what direction we are working, several techniques can be distinguished.

Many novice therapists are convinced that the more tension we find in the tissues, the more force you need to use during the procedure to release this tension. Paradoxically, the more gently we work, the faster it will be possible to release muscle tension. The most effective stretching techniques are extremely subtle and gentle movements. The strength in deep massage can be graded by using different parts of the body for massage. It is rare for an experienced therapist to use only fingers for the entire procedure, and even if they use fingers, it is necessary to do it in a safe way for yourself.
