What to Expect During a Deep Tissue Massage Session

Do you find that your muscles are tense and tight throughout your body? One of the services that our chiropractic office provides is in-office massages.

In addition to our four chiropractic doctors at Sheldon Road Chiropractic & Massage Therapy in Tampa, FL, we have four certified massage therapists on staff who are highly trained and specialized in various types of massage. Our doctors and massage therapists can help loosen those tight muscles so you feel great again. 

What is Massage of the Deep Tissues?  

Our massage therapists are highly trained professionals skilled, licensed, and certified in deep tissue massage. Only a trained professional should perform a massage of the deep tissues as this type of treatment manipulates musculoskeletal issues such as sports injuries, strains, and sprains.

Massage of the deep tissues consists of a paced treatment involving a slow, deep stroke to reach the deep structures of the muscles and connective tissues. After this treatment, you may feel reduced inflammation or a faster healing rate as the deep massage strokes increase the blood flow to the area. 

Another benefit of this type of message is the breakdown of scar tissue buildup due to a previous injury. After properly massaging deep tissues, you should experience less pain and tightness. Many people compare the level of pain relief to taking pain medication for the same conditions.

Do you suffer from the following?

• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow
• Fibromyalgia
• High blood pressure
• Sports injuries
• Sciatica

Deep tissue massage at Sheldon Road Chiropractic & Massage Therapy in Tampa, FL, can relieve some of the symptoms of these health conditions.  

Precautions For Message of The Deep Tissues

This type of massage is an intensive form of body manipulation and should be treated as such. Our highly skilled massage therapists will need to know your previous massage history. 

Please visit your family physician before pursuing any type of deep massage therapy if you have a history of any bleeding disorder, blood clots, high blood pressure, cancer (current or in remission), osteoporosis treatment, present wounds located in the area of treatment, or are on any blood thinner medication.

Massage of the deep tissues could worsen the conditions listed above. This type of message should also be off-limits during pregnancy.
