This massage technique focuses on deeper layers of muscles, tendons and fascia connective tissue. It releases chronic muscle tension and muscle fibres whilst relaxing and soothing the muscle. Deep tissue massage is therapeutic, corrective and can release toxins to help the flow of oxygen, nutrients and with general circulation. This massage can be full body or focused on specific muscle groups.
Hands-on techniques are used in Sports Massage to manipulate the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the body to prevent or improve sports injuries. Sports Massage combines a variety of techniques including trigger pointing, stretching and mobilising. It is also a specific therapy for pain relief and injury management. MLD is a whole-body technique combining very gentle pressure with sweeping strokes and a soft pumping movement in the direction of the lymph nodes.
As MLD uses very gentle pressure it is suitable for conditions such as lymphoedema, where swollen areas prohibit the use of deep pressure massage techniques.
This light pressure is used because the lymph vessels are superficial, i. The process of MLD encourages the blood and lymph circulation to remove the waste and distribute nutrients and oxygen back around the body. Fascia is the web like connective tissue under your skin which encases your entire body.
