Steel Fitness Massage Therapy

At Steel Fitness, we offer deep muscle massage and neuromuscular therapy.

Deep muscle massage is both therapeutic and corrective. It is a technique which allows the manipulation of tight muscles by focusing on the deep layers of muscle tissue. It also strives to release chronic patterns of tension caused by outside stresses as well as encourage the correctness of any muscle imbalance by using slow strokes and deep pressure. It is beneficial to receive deep muscle massage because it helps to release the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle.

Neuromuscular therapy addresses several issues which can all be a contribution to pain. Neuromusclar therapy focuses on trigger points which refer pain to other parts of the body. Ischemia is also targeted which is a lack of blood supply to the tissues. Postural distortion is addressed by assessing imbalances of the muscular system resulting from poor movement of the body across all planes. This goes hand in hand with biomechanical dysfunction which causes imbalance of the musculoskeletal system (which leads to poor habits such as poor lifting techniques and poor posture). The previous mentioned ailments may all lead to nerve compression and/or entrapment that can be caused by soft tissue, cartilage and bone.
