Swedish Massage: The most common type of massage; given to relax, reduce stress, and increase circulation and range of motion.
Deep Tissue Massage: A massage with firmer pressure that works deeply into the muscles and connective tissues to release chronic aches and pains. Neuromuscular Therapy: Used to stop spasms and pain by applying pressure to specific points in the muscles that are painfully irritated (trigger points).
Sports Massage: To help prevent athletic injury, keep the body flexible, and assist in the recovery process.
Chair Massage: Massage given while you are fully clothed and seated in a special portable chair.
Reflexology: To help improve circulation and relaxation. Thumb pressure on specific reflex points of the feet and hands stimulates corresponding areas in other parts of the body.
Know the Facts
Serious damage to the body can occur if massage therapy is done inappropriately or by someone not properly trained. Your massage therapist should have completed specialized training in anatomy, physiology,hydrotherapy and basic types of massage. They also should have passed a national examination that tests their massage therapy skills.
