+ 1 Why I recommend getting deep tissue work done!
Deep Tissue Massage targets the deep tissue structure of the fascia and muscles, referred to as connective tissue. The purpose of this massage is to attack the muscle tension and chronic knots (aka adhesions) aka scare tissue.
Deep tissue massage can break up and eliminate scar tissue from previous injuries. A common problem is that stressed muscles can block nutrients and oxygen from getting to where they need to go, and this will cause inflammation that allows toxins to build up in your muscle tissue. The inflammation and toxins contribute to pain and stress. Deep Tissue Massage breaks up and releases the built-up toxins by loosening the muscles. With the toxins released, blood and oxygen can circulate as they should through one’s body. Being properly hydrated before you go to your massage appointment and drinking plenty of water after one of these massages is highly recommended.
- You will feel very shitty the day after the massage if you do not seriously hydrate!*

ha yeah I guess you're right.
I member back in Cali I got a deep tissue massage from oriental place... gotta admit she tore me up lol.. I was so dam exhausted after we where done. I literly fell asleep on the table 45 minutes into a hour massage.. the "happy ending" was an added bonus as well ;) Js ...
Yeah they take it out of you big time. I almost passed out last night cause this guy wasnt applying enough pressure and it was pissing me off. I had to tell him like 3 times to keep the pressure on and dont let up until the area is good to go.
Get your woman trained up in this skill by doing things like utube tutorials and doing classes n get her to do it. Save a bit of money and creates a new bonding routine.
Lol no way man. I'm not going to have my girl execute herself via YouTube and let her go to town on me. Maybe you could but not me. I will let the pros do it.
Good stuff. I've always thought that a deep tissue massage also aids in braking down any fat stored in the area around the massaged muscle. In my experience, I've notice that about a week after a message I get a very leaned out physique.
haha well I hate to burst your bubble but thats not true at all. It does nothing to the fat stores.
So the leaned look comes from dehydration? Or maybe lighten stress?
Well dehydration will give you a leaner appearance but obviously doesn't mean you're lean or lost fat. Just don't have any water in your muscles which is next good.
Maybe this it...
Stress and Weight Loss
Massage is known to reduce in the body levels of cortisol, a hormone known as the "stress" hormone because it triggers the body's "fight or flight" response. When your body is in a high-stress mode, the intestines slow or stop the digestion of food, so the body can focus on coping with the stress. By halting the stress response, you allow your body to digest food properly and keep it from building up in your intestines. When your body functions properly, you feel better and look great, and weight-loss comes easier.
yeah aman cortisol sucks but alot of people dont actually know that you need SOME of it in your body. Its never good to try and completely rid your body of it.
Crazy part is how a message can have an effect on your digestion of food. The body is complex piece of machinery.
YUP YUP. I wouldnt say the digestion but it helps push the nutrients back into the muscles once they body has broken them down and is trying to redistribute them.
