What Is a Deep Tissue Massage?

Back Pain

In a 2017 study, the effects of deep tissue massage were examined in 31 guys who had the form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

The participants were separated into two groups to undergo either therapeutic massage using deep tissue massage techniques or massage therapy without deep tissue massage techniques.

Over the course of two weeks, each participant received 10 30-minute massages.

In comparison to therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage considerably reduced pain, according to the study.

High blood pressure

Research shows that sports massage may reduce heart rate and high blood pressure. However, there are not enough studies that look at the effects of deep tissue massage on this condition.
