This type of massage uses Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy to relieve muscular pain and dysfunction. This involves the application of pressure to trigger points as well as thorough stretching.

Trigger points are defined as localized areas in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to pain when compressed. Pressure on these points can send referred pain to other specific parts of the body, resulting in symptoms such as burning muscular pain, headaches and tingling. Deep tissue massage can help to relieve these painful symptoms.
