Deep Tissue Massage is an intricate massage therapy procedure, which is mainly used to treat various types of musculoskeletal issues, like strains, sprains and injuries sustained during sporting activities. Deep tissue massage quintessentially involves application of controlled and sustained pressure with the use of slow, deep strokes that target the inner layers of muscles as well as connective tissues. Now the professionals, offering Deep Tissue Massage in Perth or anywhere else, would follow 5 methods to conduct the massage, depending upon the condition of the recipient and the gravity thereof. 

On this page, let us discuss the methods to give you a fair amount of insight knowledge. 

Method #1: Sacrum Push

This is a very simple, yet highly effective method, which if followed at the start of the full body deep tissue massage therapy. 

In this method, the massage therapist would place his or her one hand on the small of the recipient’s back, just above the sacrum, and then place the other hand on the already-placed other hand. Then the therapist offering Massage Therapy in Perth will use both the hands to support the balance of his or her own body and start leaning towards the recipient. In the process, the weight of the body starts to get transmitted from the knees of the therapist to the hand so that the weight can be transmitted in the form of pressure on the recipient’s back. As the angle of lean increases the level of pressure on the back also increases accordingly.

Method #2: Elbow Pressure 

In this procedure, the therapist bends the arm to 90 degrees and places his or her elbow directly over the pressure point to be addressed. Once done, the therapist will then lean towards the recipient, to increase the pressure and the depth of compression. The amount of pressure applied depends upon the location of the trigger point. 

Method #3: Knuckle Pressure 

In an approach that is pretty similar to elbow pressure, in this particular technique, the therapist offering deep tissue massage services in Perth would use the joints of his or her own body to channel a somewhat deeper force level than what would have been possible using the fingertips, and apply it on the trigger point. 

Method #4: Double Finger Pressure 

When it comes to addressing the more fleshy parts of the body, like buttocks, triceps, thighs, and calfs, the therapist will use the padded portions of the thumbs of the therapist, offering deep tissue massage services in Perth. 

Method #5: Thumb Rolls 

This is the 5th, the most popular and most effective technique of deep tissue massage, used by the therapists offering deep tissue massage in Perth. This procedure would allow the therapist to access deeper into the specific muscles and is generally applied on stained calf muscles. One of the most remarkable advantages of this particular technique is that it let the therapist apply a substantial amount of pressure, while maintaining an overall soothing and comforting approach.
