DEEP TISSUE

STRESS, INJURY, REPETITIVE MOTION, DEHYDRATION, are just some of the things that can cause muscle adhesions, fibrous bands of tissue or "knots" that limit range of motion and cause acute and chronic pain.  These knots can form anywhere in the body, making movement difficult and painful..  

TARGETING THE DEEP LAYERS OF MUSCLES CAN BREAK DOWN ADHESIONS AND HELP REPAIR DAMAGED TISSUE, LENGTHEN MUSCLE FIBERS, AND RESTORE RANGE OF MOTION.  

"NO PAIN, NO GAIN" DOES NOT APPLY, ALWAYS STAY WITHIN YOUR COMFORT RANGE, AND COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR THERAPIST. 

DEEP TISSUE PREGNANCY MASSAGE

" CAN I GET DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE WHILE I AM PREGNANT? "

" YES, OF COURSE YOU CAN "

There are considerations regarding massage during pregnancy, deep tissue is not recommended in the first trimester.

 A prenatal massage expert knows the areas to avoid.

Deep tissue massage while pregnant is extremely helpful in relieving lower back and hip pain, it can ease cramps, reduce inflammation, and aid in healthy circulation of blood and lymph.  Given the many structural changes a pregnant woman's body goes through in a short period of time, deep tissue massage can be essential for comfort and overall health.

Always seek an educated and experienced therapist for this type of massage.

 Sugarhouse Bodywork therapists are your experts in pregnancy massage, with years of hands-on experience.
