Deep Tissue Massage Therapy Boulder, CO

Deep tissue massage therapy sessions at Boulder Sports Chiropractic are fully focused orthopedic-based sessions. 

Deep tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage technique that focuses on targeting deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues in the body. It involves the application of firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes to help alleviate chronic muscle tension, pain, and stiffness. Unlike relaxation massages, which primarily work on the superficial muscles and provide a gentle, soothing experience, deep tissue massage aims to address specific musculoskeletal issues and restore the body to a state of balance and wellness.

Key features of deep tissue massage include:

  • Pressure: Deep tissue massage therapists use greater pressure than in a traditional Swedish massage. The pressure can be firm to intense, but it should always be within the client's comfort level.

  • Slow strokes: The therapist applies slow, deliberate strokes to target specific areas of tension and tightness. This helps to access and release deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

  • Techniques: Various techniques may be employed during a deep tissue massage, including friction, kneading, stripping, and myofascial release. These techniques help break down adhesions (knots) in muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation.

  • Targeted areas: Deep tissue massage is often used to address specific issues such as chronic pain, muscle tension, postural problems, and injuries. It's commonly used to treat conditions like sciatica, tennis elbow, and fibromyalgia.

Benefits of deep tissue massage:

  • Pain relief: Deep tissue massage can help reduce chronic pain by releasing tension in muscles and promoting relaxation. It is often used to alleviate pain associated with conditions like back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries.

  • Improved flexibility and mobility: By targeting deeper muscle layers and fascia, deep tissue massage can enhance range of motion and flexibility, making it easier for individuals to move and perform physical activities.

  • Stress reduction: Like other types of massage, deep tissue massage can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. It can also aid in lowering cortisol levels, which are associated with stress.

  • Breaks down scar tissue: Deep tissue massage can break down adhesions and scar tissue, which may have formed as a result of injuries or surgeries. This can improve circulation and reduce pain and discomfort in the affected area.

  • Better posture: By addressing muscle imbalances and tension, deep tissue massage can help improve posture and alignment, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal issues.

  • Enhanced circulation: The firm pressure used in deep tissue massage can stimulate blood flow and promote the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissues, helping with healing and recovery.

It's important to note that deep tissue massage may not be suitable for everyone, as the intensity of the pressure can be uncomfortable or even painful for some individuals. It's crucial to communicate your preferences and any discomfort with your massage therapist to ensure a safe and effective treatment.

Deep Tissue Massage Therapy for Car Accident Pain:

Car accidents are incredibly damaging to the muscles, ligaments, fascia, and soft tissues of your neck and back. Deep tissue massage therapy can be a fantastic way to relax the overstimulated nervous system, and gently decrease muscle tension and restore normal muscle integrity. Often our body responds to injuries such as whiplash by spasming the muscles to protect the injured area. While this is functional in the short term, muscle spasming after a car accident can lead to other injuries as compensations begin to form. Our massage therapists can help restore normal muscle tension with different styles of massage. Massage is often a great addition to any car accident recovery plan and is often fully covered by your car insurance. Call us for more information.

If you were recently in an automobile accident, you may be able to have your massages fully covered by your automotive insurance!
