Deep tissue techniques are generally designed for
more focused massage work. Working a specific joint, muscle or
muscle group, the practitioner can access deeper layers of the soft
tissue. Starting superficially and easing into the depth of the
muscle slowly often allows more movement. If the pressure is applied
too deeply or too quickly, the muscle may tighten to protect that
area, and unnecessary damage or inflammation can be induced. Very
little lubricant is used as the pressure doesn't travel much over
the skin |
