Deep Tissue Massage Therapy

Introduction of DTM Therapy

DTM is a technique that focuses primarily on the deeper layers of muscles and the fascia.

This technique uses firmer pressure to reach these layers to treat areas that have pain problems.

The therapist may use some techniques of pressing, scratching, squeezing and even tapping.

The followings are the procedures when giving DTM therapy:

A patient sits on a chair to get this DTM therapy.

1. Start from the patient shoulders down to the arms up to the hands. Use your thumbs to give massage. You can use pressing, scratching or tapping on the shoulders.

2. Down to the low back you can use your thumbs for pressing and scratching. You can give slight tapping from the shoulders down to the low back.

3. Now you can give massage on the head. Give light scratching with all your fingers from the forhead to the back of the head near the neck.

4. You can give massage on the calves of the patient. You can use your thumbs to give massage therapy.

5. Closing is done on the shoulders like when you begin the therapy.

This technique is quite simple, but it can cure some the ailments like migraine, vertigo, hypertension, diabetes, low back pain, asthma, sleep disorder, stroke and any other ailments.

Side effect: Some bruises over the parts of the body given the massage.
