What is a Deep Tissue Massage?

First of all, a little background on me. My name is Adrian Keeley and I am a Massage Therapist in Las Vegas.  I work for a Physical Therapy clinic in Las Vegas performing Massage on patients with various injuries and conditions. I also run my Massage Business out of this office in the off hours.  Most often the massage technique I use is Deep Tissue Massage. Deep Tissue differs from a swedish massage because with deep tissue, you are trying to work into the muscle fibers and belly to release adhesions and encourage blood flow and recovery. The technique differs in the use of your tools (Knuckles, forearm, elbow) the depth, and the speed of the stroke. The Tool can depend on the muscle being worked. An elbow might be too strong for a neck and could bruise, but a knuckle or fist can provide a great depth and stroke but be less painful and intense. The reverse can be said for a large muscle like the quadriceps, and elbow or forearm have the depth and strength to get into the muscles and be more steady for the practitioner. The intended effect of a deep tissue massage is to strip adhesions and to try to let the muscles move with more freedom of motion and ease of stretch.  To achieve this quickly there is a chance that the recipient of a deep tissue massage would be sore the day after a session. I inform most of my clients that they should fell about as sore as is they had a good workout the day before. If there are any area's that are very sore or bruised then the session was too deep. If this happens then the practitioner needs to take care with depth and duration. They might need to make sure that the tissue's are carefully warmed up and start slowly with the upper layers and take time to work through one layer of tissue at a time until the massage meets a workable depth. Also, there are many things to take into consideration like age, medications, and physical condition. An older patient, or a person in poor physical shape will not be able to take as much pressure as an athlete or someone who keeps all of their muscles working and loose.  I have many clients that I start slow with and while the sessions progress we get deeper and get more work done as the body adjusts to the bodywork. There are always evolving techniques in the massage community as through the years deep tissue massage has evolved into separate categories and specialties. Deep Tissue Massage is used in many different modalities including Sports Massage, Injury Massage, and Structural Massage. I will address these other modalities in future articles as well as diving deeper into the history and techniques of Deep Tissue Massage. A couple of things to keep in mind if you are interested in receiving a deep tissue massage. Be clear with your Therapist the area's that you want to receive deep work and the area's that you want lighter work on, be prepared for a little pain as the work is done, and be vocal with your therapist, if something is too deep let them know, if you need more pressure let them know, and remember its your massage so enjoy it.

Here are some reviews I've received from clients:

I have an extremely physical job (fitness instructor, CrossFit coach, and model) so my body is 'on' all the time. I had an elevated hip and ribcage and deep, painful knots from underneath my shoulder blades to the base of my skull that was beginning to cause headaches. I have had 2 major issues with massages in the past: a) they would feel great at the time but not do anything to actually fix my issues or relieve the pain after the massage was over and b) being a female I have felt uncomfortable/awkward with a male massage therapist. I emailed Adrian and he made time for me the very next day. I immediately felt at ease from his caring, professional nature (he actually took time to sit and talk with me about my job, the way I sleep, and habits I have and the effect they have on my body and pinpointed the sources of my pain). His massage totally blew me away; it was massage with a PURPOSE! He targeted knots and asymmetries in my body and as he worked I could feel pressure on the nerves in my neck release and relief literally shot through me. My knots along my shoulder blades were so tight I couldn't touch my shoulder blades together, and afterward I had full range of motion. After the massage Adrian showed me special stretches and adjustments I could make in the way I sleep and the seat in my car to help alleviate the pain and heal me more quickly. I truly could go on for pages about what a difference working with Adrian has made in my body and in my life as well (I had almost forgotten what it was like to go a whole day and not hurt!). His professionalism and genuinely kind, caring nature is unlike any other therapist I have ever been to, and the pain-relief and management I achieved from our sessions was so extraordinarily different and superior to any previous massage experiences I have had. I felt the need to go on here because if anyone out there struggles with chronic pain like I did, or has issues with seeing a male therapist, I cannot stress enough that Adrian can change your whole perception as well as simply fix where it hurts :)
