Why Therapists Need To Qualify On A Deep Tissue Massage Course

When therapists are studying, then they have to reach NVQ Level 3 before they get to this more intense treatment and they start on their deep tissue massage course. This training takes them beyond the more relaxing types of massage such as Swedish or Aromatherapy massage, and other massage techniques that focus on relaxation. Learning the techniques and the skills required to become qualified as a deep tissue massage therapist will not only add to their skills, but offer their clients who suffer from pack pain, muscle pain and stiffness, a deep tissue massage which will help them to restore ease of movement and flexibility . As well as easing the nagging pain that they have been experiencing.Because of the pain relief and the movements of the masseuses’ hands on the body, the deep tissue massage can still help the client to unwind mentally, too.

Who benefits most from a deep tissue massage session

This is a massage that is preferred by many as it reaches the underlying layers of muscle and connective tissue and gets to the root causes of that lower back ache, tight leg muscles and more. Because of the depth of the pressure required the client may experience a little soreness after the massage, this is frequently due to the therapist targeting knots in the muscles. (We frequently refer to knots which are in fact my ofascial trigger points, the specific areas of tension buried within the muscle fibre.) A massage therapist who has successfully passed this level of training will know how to slowly press the fingers into the skin with firm pressure and to use slow, firm strokes in the direction of the muscle, to target those deep tissues whilst maintaining a continuous pressure, even using the forearm to gain sufficient force.This focusses on the interior layers of the muscles and connective tissues breaking up the scar tissue that has formed following an injury or repeated stress and strain to that region. This makes this type of massage the perfect type of massage treatment for athletes and gym bunnies!

The therapist understands that every stroke has its purpose, and each  technique employed by them is significant to the final result. By learning and then performing these techniques, the more highly trained massage practitioners will be able to help their clients more effectively.
