Deep Tissue therapy is a form of massage technique that addresses what are known as “triggerpoints.” Triggerpoints are elaborated upon in the field of neuromuscular therapy and are thought of as the culprits of referred pain problems.

Referred pain is when the source of the pain is not hurting, but a peripheral point (triggerpoint) is acting up and only seems to be the cause. Deep Tissue Massage is effective for hunting down these shadowy unknowns to relieve the symptoms and increase awareness and vitality in the body.

One of the interesting things that happens during a treatment with an experienced practitioner is that one becomes aware of knots and triggerpoints that they were previously unaware of. It is a welcome relief to receive energy back that was tied up in a stress pattern that you did not even know was there!

Working out a point of tension promotes vitality and creates a ground for increased health, better movement and even clarity of mind and thought.
