The Deep
Tissue
Deep Tissue, as the name suggests, refers to the tissue located between
the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and bone, and
forms a seamless web that covers and connects the muscles,
organs, and skeletal structures in our body. This is called the
fascia, and it is responsible for maintaining our body's
structural integrity, supporting our posture, and acting
as a shock absorber.
Myofascial refers collectively to the tissue and the
myscle. Together,
the muscle and fascia form the myofascial system. The
myofascial system is a totally unified structure that is
present throughout your posture without any
interruption.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep
Tissue Massage is most useful when someone wants the
bodywork to be done to the fascial level. Rolfing
incorporates Deep Tissue Massage through Myofascial Release,
a Rolfing therapy targeted at the fascial system and
posture.
“Myo” refers to the muscle, and “fascial” refers to the
smooth tough tissue that covers all the muscles.
Myofascial
release is a form of deep tissue work or deep
tissue massage is intended for pain relief, increasing
range of motion and balancing the body.
How Rolfing’s Deep Tissue Massage
Helps
Injuries,
stress, inflammation, trauma, and poor posture can
cause restriction to fascia. The goal of deep tissue massage
is to release fascial restriction and restore the natural
balance of the tissue tissue through the hands of the
Rolfer. Myofascial Release or Deep Tissue Massage is an
integral part of Rolfing.
Deep tissue massage (through Rolfing) helps people with poor
posture
, physical injury, illness
and emotional stress. It is also used to treat back pain,
fibromyalgia, headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome,
menstrual problems, incontinence, tennis elbow, sprains,
rheumatoid arthritis, muscle spasms, whiplash injuries
and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is also very helpful
for athletics and those who have sports injuries.
Deep Tissue massage may also be used to treat
children suffering from birth trauma, head injuries,
cerebral palsy, and scoliosis.
What Differentiates Rolfing’s Deep Tissue
Massage?
What distinguishes Rolfing from other deep tissue massage
is not the medium in which we work, but the goal of our work
- which is organizing the body in gravity
. Releasing the tight
deep tissue can be common in other massages or
practices, but bringing your body in alignment is the
goal of Rolfing, which in terms will help your posture
and remove the tension in your
body.
