The combination of constant firm pressure and slow strokes to reach the deeper layers of our muscles throughout the body can help break up our scar tissues, and muscle adhesions that later cause several problems such as pain, limited motion range, and inflammation. Divine Spa at Lazimpat, opposite to NIC Asia Bank, offers good deep tissue therapy sessions, perfect to relieve rigidity and muscle tension in the body. The massage begins at the feet, and slowly works its way up the whole body with light pressure, just to prep up the muscles. This is then followed by deeper pressure and specific techniques that use deep gliding strokes across muscle fibers using elbows, knuckles, forearms, and fingers.

Does it hurt?

Initial discomfort is common during this massage, as it seeks to work your long inert muscles, and release it from adhesions or scar tissues. However, do inform your therapist if you feel a lot of pain during the session. But after a while, you feel as if you are drifting deeper into the zone where your body muscles are fully relaxed.

 

The Deep Tissue Massage is especially beneficial to those who are recovering from injuries, or who have the following health problems:

  • Low back pain
