Please note that this remedial massage technique is used in conjunction with other massage techniques such as trigger point therapy and general effleurage (massage) strokes. Your remedial massage therapist will often use their elbows, thumbs and knuckles to increase the pressure they can apply. The technique incorporates long, slow, firm strokes following the direction of the muscle fibres. Often a firm pressure, that penetrates through the superficial layers of tissue and fascia will have great long term results in reducing hip and lower back tightness. For example - Gluts respond extremely well to deep tissue massage because they are such a large muscle group, with many components. It is particularly effective when muscles are located quite 'deep' compared to some of the more superficial muscles of the body.
