Deep Tissue Massage
It's time to say goodbye to stubborn tensions that don't go away with superficial touches.
The human body consists of layers. The superficial muscles located under the skin and adipose tissue are sometimes not the real cause of the pain. Especially years of poor posture, chronic stress, or severe sports injuries cause adhesions and fascial knots in the lowest layers of the muscle (deep tissue). Deep Tissue Massage is a powerful therapy method designed exactly to untie these stubborn knots.
In this technique, the physiotherapist applies slow but very deep and penetrating pressure using their thumbs, knuckles, forearms, and even elbows. The goal is to cause blood to rush to that area, separate the fibers stuck together, and mechanically release the joint/muscle area that has been locked for years. If your pain returns the very next day after superficial massages, what you probably need is a deep tissue massage.
Who Is This Service For?
- Those suffering from long-standing chronic muscle, back, and neck pain
- Those who feel that superficial massages (e.g., Swedish massage) are insufficient
- Bodybuilding and crossfit athletes doing heavy physical training
- Those who have adhesions (scar tissue) in their muscles after an old sports injury
- Those whose shoulder and scapula area stiffens like a stone due to posture disorder
- Those experiencing deep pain in their hips due to piriformis syndrome or sciatica pain
How Is It Applied?
Superficial Heating
Before the application, a heating process is performed on the superficial tissues (epidermis and dermis) with light stroking techniques to prepare the muscles for deep pressure.
Deep Friction
Strong and slow friction movements are applied perpendicular or parallel to the direction of the muscle fibers using the thumb, knuckles, or elbow.
Myofascial Release
The hardened connective tissue (fascia) surrounding the muscles is stretched and opened by applying slow and continuous tension.
Resolving Adhesions
The normal gliding mechanism of the muscle is restored by breaking the fiber adhesions formed especially in old injury areas or chronic knots.
Cooling and Stretching
After the intensive pressure application, the session is completed with light stretching techniques to relax the tissues.
