Unlike other massage therapies, deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscles. Justin Shelley uses firm pressure to massage deep-lying tissues and the surrounding connective tissues. This massage therapy with slow deep guided strokes breaks up scar tissues and knots in the large and small muscles, which can result in poor blood circulation, inflammation and pain.
Whether you are looking for targeted deep tissue massage near me, you can depend on Justin Shelley, one of the reputable massage therapists in Philadelphia, PA. He usually begins the session with light pressure to warm up the muscles and then targets the deeper layers with harder pressure. One of the most common techniques used is known as stripping. This method applies deep pressure along the length of the muscle fiber and the resultant friction occurs across the grain of the fiber. This breaks up the knots and works to realign the muscle fiber.
