Therapeutic massage will loosen tense musculature and often break down scar tissue to increase range of motion in a specific area. Typically deep tissue massage benefits chronic injuries.
Therapists can either relax or stimulate muscle tissue to increase circulation so blood flows freely, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the areas needed. Massage Therapists use their hands, forearms and elbows to detect and treat problems in the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the body’s soft tissue.
