It’s worth noting that the two massage therapies have different goals and we’d work towards different outcomes.
Deep tissue massage usually focuses on relieving muscle pain, abnormalities and tightness, as well as helping to relieve stress and promoting well-being. However, it’s also got many rehabilitation benefits for people who are seeking sports-related injury relief.
