When muscles are tight, oxygen and nutrients are blocked, leading to inflammation, and a build up of toxins in the tissue. Deep tissue massage in Southington focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue in order to release tight muscles and lengthen overly constricted muscle fibers. Deep tissue work benefits your body by reducing muscle tightness, improving circulation, reducing pain and tension, and providing deep relaxation to relieve stress and provide relief. Prior to your massage, your massage therapist will discuss areas of tension you would like to focus on, amount of desired pressure, and any pertinent or limiting health conditions in order to tailor the massage to your individualized needs. Many conditions can be greatly improved by deep tissue work including chronic back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis and elbow tendonitis.

This remarkable therapy employs the use of silicone or plastic cups being placed on the body in areas where you have rigid, soft tissue. The therapist creates suction in the cups to lift the tissue to release restrictions in the muscles. Cupping also helps to drain excess fluid and toxins, loosen adhesions, bring blood flow to the muscles, and assist in lymph flow. The pulling action of the cups can also engage the parasympathetic nervous system, thus allowing for deep relaxation. Overall, the main healing effect of cupping is that it dramatically improves circulation of blood and lymph making the metabolic process more active, thus encouraging optimal health. When you want to experience Southington cupping massage, get in touch with your local trained & licensed massage therapist professionals!
