Are you tired of feeling sore after workouts? Deep tissue massage is an effective and beneficial therapy
that can improve your health and sense of overall well being. There are many benefits that come from
receiving regular deep tissue massages, and it’s important for anyone looking for tangible healing results
to consider it.

Your body is made up of numerous muscles, tendons, and ligaments that serve vital functions. Deep
tissue massage helps restore your body’s natural state by concentrating on the deeper layers of muscle
and connective tissues. By manipulating these tissues, deep tissue massage can help reduce areas of
tension, increase blood and lymph flow, and stimulate the nervous system. Ultimately, this helps to reduce
stiffness and soreness after workouts, alleviate pain, bring down inflammation, and promote a general
feeling of wellbeing. You may also experience a boost in improved workout performance and improved
range of motion as well as shorter recovery time between workouts by incorporating deep tissue massage
into your routine.

Deep tissue massage can also be particularly helpful to those suffering from chronic neck and back pain,
as well as people who have experienced sports injuries. In particular, athletes can also benefit from deep
tissue massage before and after competition to improve athletic performance and enhance their recovery
process. Furthermore, issues such as sciatica, piriformis syndrome, shoulder impingement, headaches,
and scar tissue and more can all be effectively treated through deep tissue massage.
​
At (Grow Wellness), we understand the importance of taking care of yourself, believe in the benefits of
deep tissue massage and prioritize providing the utmost quality of service to our clients. Whether you’re
an athlete looking to improve performance, want to give your body the extra edge for your workouts or
simply want to take some time to take care of yourself, Colton will help you by customizing his approach
to suit your individual needs.

Hi my name is Colton I’ve been a licensed massage therapist since 2015. Sports have always held a special place in my heart. From an early age I was drawn to the thrill of competition and pushing myself to new limits. As I grew older my passion for sports evolved not only as a participant but as a healer. Experiencing different injuries sparked my curiosity to explore ways to support healing and recovery. It was during this time that I discovered the incredible benefits of massage therapy. Below we will discuss one of my main specialties I typically use during a massage session.

​Massage therapy has long been recognized as a powerful tool for human well-being and relaxation. Beyond its soothing effects, it is also known to provide relief from various physical ailments. One particular type of massage therapy that has gained popularity in recent years is myoskeletal alignment therapy. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of myoskeletal massage therapy and explore its benefits.

Myoskeletal therapy is a specialized form of massage that focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Developed by therapist Erik Dalton, this therapy combines elements of deep tissue massage, myofascial release, joint mobilization, and muscle energy techniques. The primary goal of myoskeletal therapy is to provide long- lasting pain relief and improve overall body alignment.

During a myoskeletal massage session, the therapist follows a systematic approach. They start by assessing the client's posture, range of motion, and overall musculoskeletal alignment. Once the problem areas are identified, the therapist uses a combination of targeted techniques to address the underlying causes of pain and
dysfunction. This may include working on muscle imbalances, releasing tight fascia, and improving joint mobility.

​Myoskeletal massage therapy offers a wide range of benefits beyond pain relief. Here are some of the key advantages of this modality:
