Deep Tissue Massage

At Saskatoon RMT, we specialize in therapeutic deep tissue massage, ideal for addressing issues embedded within the deeper layers of muscle, tendons, and fascia. This type of massage is especially beneficial for chronic muscle tension, repetitive strain injuries, and breaking down scar tissue.

Our deep tissue massage focuses on relaxing tight muscle fibers to alleviate tension, allowing any built-up metabolic waste to disperse. This process is intentional and measured, using friction across the muscle fibers and sustained pressure with slow, deep strokes. The session usually lasts 75 to 90 minutes to fully address these areas and reach deeper connective tissue layers.

In addition to easing tight muscles, deep tissue massage offers numerous other benefits:

– Enhanced Workout Performance: Relaxed muscles improve range of motion, muscle function, and aid in the growth of stronger tissue, ultimately helping with calorie burning.
– Relaxation and Stress Relief: Massage increases endorphin production, enhancing feelings of happiness and well-being.
– Improved Sleep: Reduced muscle pain can lead to better quality rest.
– Pain Relief: Loosened muscle knots and tension often reduce joint pain and discomfort in daily activities and workouts, promoting faster recovery through increased blood flow to the muscles.
– Overall Health Benefits: Regular sessions help improve blood pressure, lung function, and contribute to general well-being.

  Additional Tips for Muscle Health:

– Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is essential, particularly before and after a session to keep muscles hydrated and aid recovery.
– Rest Periods: Allow muscles a few hours to recover post-massage before intense physical activities.
