Deep Tissue Massage To Get Rid Of Tension

Deep tissue massage is all about relieving really severe tension. This isn't tension that it is in the muscles. It's in the connective tissue between the muscles and the tendons and ligaments that holds them to the bones and joints.

This connective tissue is known as fascia. Fascia is tough. It has a greater tensile strength than steel. And when it tightens up, it tightens up all over your body.

If you have a knot in your neck, you can feel tightness over your belly. If you sprain your thumb, you can have a knot in your forearm. Tightness in one place becomes tightness every place, all over your body.

Massage therapists often treat this kind of tension with deep tissue massage. Unfortunately, when you go in to see your massage therapist, there's usually just 60 or 90 minutes to work on you. That gives your massage therapist very little time to work out the tension in fascia. You can leave hurting more than when you went in.

But there is an alternative to deep tissue massage you can use on your own schedule in the privacy of your own home. That's heated jade roller massage, the ChiSoft method for getting deep heat where it's really needed while stretching the fascia just enough for lasting healing and drug-free pain relief.
