Deep tissue massage therapy can be an extremely effective form of treatment for many long term/chronic conditions. It works well for certain types of headaches, shoulder restrictions, carpal tunnel, chronic low back pain, IT band contracture, as well as many other conditions. It works by targeting deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue and releasing the chronic adhesions that may restrict motion. It may be uncomfortable at times but should never be painful. An open dialogue between you and your therapist ensures you are comfortable throughout the treatment.
