If you're wondering where to start your journey to relaxation, check out these 12 types of massages to find out which one you should receive first. The most common type of massage, and one of the most pleasant, is Swedish massage. It is also known as massage therapy or regular massage. Swedish massage uses gentle pressure in the form of long, gentle movements on the muscles.
The therapist will also use circular and kneading movements. The use of massage oil allows for a pleasant and frictionless massage. If you don't know what type of massage to receive or you are new to massages, Swedish massage is the ideal option. If you're in pain or want to relax and reduce stress, it's a perfect option.
Deep tissue massages aren't as gentle as a Swedish massage, but they're just as important. Your massage therapist will focus on the deeper layers of your muscles, especially areas where you are sore or in pain. Deep tissue massages are perfect for athletes or those who perform manual labor who repeatedly use the same muscles or perform the same movements. Techniques used in a deep tissue massage can provide much needed relief for areas that are especially tense, stiff, or painful.
Massage therapists use lymphatic massages to improve lymph flow throughout the body. Lymph fluid helps maintain fluid levels in the body and removes waste. People who suffer from inflammation usually find the most relief with a lymphatic massage. Myofascial release therapy involves pain-free kneading, stretching, and stretching of the skin and muscles to release tension in the fascia.
It can provide much-needed pain relief, as well as help heal scar tissue. A neuromuscular massage, or trigger point massage, works by identifying specific areas of tension deep within the muscle. These strains, also called trigger points, can be the source of many different painful symptoms, including headaches and muscle strains. Therefore, if you are one of those who receive them regularly, and there is a part of you that feels a little guilty about the price, please don't do it.
You are doing great good to your mind, body and spirit by booking those appointments. On the other hand, if you've never had a massage before (or it's been years since you were given one), take a moment to see 12 different types of massages (these are just a few; believe it or not, there are actually several more) that are specifically designed to treat whatever (physically) afflicts you. The easiest way to describe a deep tissue massage is that it is a Swedish one that has more pressure applied to it. People seeking this type of treatment are usually those who experience chronic muscle pain, a sports injury, or some type of strain, along with the anxiety that this type of discomfort could cause.
Slower movements with more intense finger pressure are what usually happens. While, honestly, there isn't a ton of scientific data to back up tasting, it's still a fan favorite; one that's been used for centuries. It's about a massage therapist locating a very tight or painful part of the body, placing a suction cup over it, and letting it stay there until blood rushes into the area to finally provide relief. Basically, there are three different types of suction cup techniques to choose from.
The use of dry suction cups is when cups that are between 1 and 3 inches in diameter are placed on the body (this is the most common method). The fire suction cup is when a glass cup is set on fire and then placed on the top of the body. Then there's the wet suction cup; it's about a professional literally making an incision in the skin to significantly increase blood circulation and flush toxins out of your system (apparently, it's quite popular in Islamic culture). Personally, I'm a big fan of reflexology.
This is when pressure is applied to pressure points such as the hands, feet and ears. When I did it on my feet, it was crazy how I could feel that certain parts of my body were responding to the massage itself (because there are literally several thousand nerve endings per sole of the foot; many that are connected to various organs, etc. Reflexology is great because it can do everything from relaxing nerves and reducing headaches to increasing blood circulation and giving you an energy boost. One method of massage that is directly attributed to ancient Chinese medicine is acupuncture.
While you don't have a wealth of scientific data to back it up, many professionals and clients alike are very interested in this particular approach. It involves inserting very thin needles into various meridian points of the body to control stress and relieve pain. It's very common for people with recurrent headaches, dental pain, respiratory disorders, back pain, and even menstrual cramps to use this approach. If the mere idea of a needle scares you, an alternative method is acupressure, which is basically acupuncture without the use of needles.
As for the duration of this type of session, it's really based on how many needles your massage therapist feels they need so that you can receive the best results.
