Thai Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of the muscles, organs and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tensed and contracted areas such as a stiff neck, back tightness, sore shoulder and tender pain. Some of the strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on the areas of tension and pain. Blood and lymph circulation is increased and toxins are removed from the tissue.
