Similar to Swedish massage, Deep Tissue Massage is used to relax the entire body but it is used on the deeper muscle tissue with deeper pressure. Along with the deep muscle tissue, the tendons and fascia will be worked on as well. The fascia consists of is a fibrous tissue and is the connective and protective layer around the joints.
There was a study that found after just one Deep Tissue massage, blood pressure would fall after 40 minutes to one hour.

On the other hand, they also found there was a release of oxytocin and serotonin. These hormones increase mood and help with relaxation.

SPORTS MASSAGE
30-min: $50
60-min: $85
90-min: $125
It is common to use sports massage as a part of an athlete’s regular training schedule. In order to prepare for an event, sports massage therapy is likely to be used as well as a means to minimize the amount of time need to recover from a maximum performance. Along with chiropractic adjustments, sports massage can increase flexibility and endurance. Athletes also can expect less fatigue. A substantial benefit for athletes that combine chiropractic adjustments and sports massage therapy is decreased likelihood of injury and maximum physical potential.
A primary benefit of combining these treatments is treating both the body’s musculature and structure. A study found that performing a single 45-second massage increases range of motion while another study found by receiving massages before or after a performance reduces the amount of muscular soreness the athlete feels.
