Deep Tissue Massage in Leawood, KS

Reduce Chronic Muscle Tension & Realign the Body

Massage Heights Leawood, is your local haven for revitalizing deep tissue massage therapy. Our dedicated massage therapists bring you the therapeutic advantages of this specialized technique, customized to your needs.

What is a Deep Tissue Massage?

A deep tissue massage involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deliberate strokes to the inner layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia. It relieves chronic muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and improves blood circulation.

Benefits of deep tissue massages:

  • Potential relief from chronic pain and tension: Massage can help relieve chronic pain by breaking up adhesions and scar tissue while releasing muscle tension.
  • Improved flexibility and range of motion: Deep tissue massage can improve flexibility and range of motion by lengthening and stretching muscles, tendons, and fascia. This is especially beneficial for athletes or people with tight, restricted muscles.
  • Enhanced athletic performance: Athletes commonly use deep tissue massage to enhance their performance. This type of massage helps in reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation, allowing athletes to improve performance and recovery.
  • Reduced muscle soreness and stiffness: Increasing blood flow to muscles and promoting toxin release, deep tissue massage can relieve soreness and stiffness and accelerate post-exercise recovery.
  • Faster injury recovery: Deep tissue massage can expedite injury recovery by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation, mitigating the risk of future injuries.

Unlike Swedish massage, which focuses on relaxation, deep-tissue massage reaches deep into the muscle tissue to alleviate pain and discomfort. The pressure applied can be intense, but it should never be painful. Our massage therapists will work with you to find the right pressure level that suits your needs.

Our deep-tissue massage therapy can help you achieve your wellness goals, whether you're an athlete seeking to enhance performance or someone seeking relief from chronic pain.

Call (913) 285-8228 or contact us online to schedule a session and experience the transformative benefits of a deep tissue massage.

 

Let Us Heighten Your Experience

Massage Heights uses natural, hypoallergenic Heights at Work Massage Lotions during your massage service and our Skin Therapists use Dermalogica® products during facials, which is the number one choice of skin care professionals worldwide. We also offer your choice of Aromatherapy with specially formulated essential oils to help you breathe, relax, and energize during your session.

You can look forward to receiving your massage or facial in a peaceful and comfortable environment. Our rooms are equipped with overhead music that can be customized to enhance your experience.

The key to achieving your goals during a session is communication. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you are in need of stress reduction or general relaxation or if there are specific areas that need extra attention. For example, stress reduction sessions or general relaxation sessions usually involve massaging all the major areas of the body, while a session for a localized tightness, pain, or injury will address a specific area of the body, such as legs and feet.

At Massage Heights, our goal is to always exceed your expectations and to maximize results. Our custom therapeutic massage and facial services can truly help you live a better life. With any health regimen, frequency is key, so our therapists and Lifestyle Consultants will talk to you in more detail regarding the benefits of incorporating regular massage and facial services into your regimen.

What are the benefits of deep tissue massages?

Deep tissue massages offer several benefits for both physical and mental well-being. This type of massage therapy focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue and is especially helpful for people who suffer from chronic aches and pains or those who have sustained injuries. Here are some of the key benefits of deep tissue massages:

1. Relieves Chronic Pain

Alleviates Muscle Tension: Deep tissue massage targets knots and adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) that can cause chronic pain and stiffness. By breaking down these adhesions, deep tissue massage helps relieve discomfort in the affected areas.

Improves Blood Flow: The increased blood flow to the muscles during a deep tissue massage helps reduce inflammation, which can contribute to pain relief.

Reduces Pain Perception: Regular deep tissue massages can help reduce the perception of pain by increasing the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.

2. Reduces Muscle Tension and Stiffness

Loosens Tight Muscles: Deep tissue massage helps relax and stretch muscles that are tight or overworked, which can alleviate muscle stiffness and improve overall flexibility.

Prevents Muscle Imbalances: By addressing muscle tension and imbalances, deep tissue massage can help prevent injuries and improve posture.

3. Speeds Up Recovery from Injuries

Promotes Healing: By increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, deep tissue massage can promote faster healing of soft tissue injuries, such as strains and sprains.

Breaks Down Scar Tissue: Deep tissue massage can help break down scar tissue that forms after an injury, surgery, or trauma, which can improve range of motion and reduce pain.

4. Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion

Stretches Tight Muscles and Fascia: The techniques used in deep tissue massage help stretch the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles), which can improve flexibility and range of motion.

Enhances Mobility: By releasing muscle tension and adhesions, deep tissue massage can help improve joint mobility and overall movement.

5. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Promotes Relaxation: Deep tissue massage, although more intense than other forms of massage, can help relieve physical tension, which in turn can reduce stress levels and promote relaxation.

Increases Serotonin and Oxytocin Levels: The pressure applied during a deep tissue massage can stimulate the release of serotonin and oxytocin, hormones associated with relaxation and reduced stress.
