Deep tissue massage therapy is just like Swedish massage, except your therapist uses slow, firm pressure to release muscle tension during a deep tissue massage. The main emphasis is put on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia. A deep tissue massage can help in reducing inflammation, circulation, increasing range of motion, mild aches and pain.

After only one session, deep tissue massage can help to reduce blood pressure. If you’re looking to recover from a recent injury or are suffering from minor aches and pain, ask your massage therapist about incorporating deep tissue massage into your next session.

The Path Retreats center provides the Path of Love 7-Day personal transformational growth and meditation program. Within their various retreat centers in the UK, they also offer adjunctive classes by skilled teachers.

In their online courses, prospective students can enrol in programs like Meditation Mentoring Program, Herat Journey, and deep Self Massage program that includes in-depth knowledge about deep tissue massage.
