Deep muscle therapy
Deep muscle therapy (created by Therese Pfrimmer), is a massage technique
that focuses on using a very specific set of movements applied to all
muscles and concentrating on all layers of the muscle that have become
depleted of their regular blood and lymphatic flow. This technique aims to
restore the circulation with its healing properties to the cellular level.
Deep muscle therapy is widely used to treat the following ailments: carpal
tunnel syndrome, neck and back pain, headaches, poor circulation,
whiplash, and more.

Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue techniques are generally designed for more focused massage
work. Working a specific joint, muscle or muscle group, the practitioner
can access deeper layers of the soft tissue. Starting superficially and
easing into the depth of the muscle slowly often allows more movement.
This is the recommended approach in this modality since each person
experiences pressure differently. If the pressure is applied too deeply or
too quickly, the muscle may tighten to protect that area, and unnecessary
damage or inflammation can be induced. Very little lubricant is used as
the pressure doesn't travel much over the skin. See also: Myofascial
