This relaxation-focused form of massage is what most people think of first when they think about massage. Therapists use a sequence of long, gliding strokes, kneads, and circular motions to help ease shallow tension in the muscles. Aromatherapy may be added to enhance relaxation.
Benefit: Besides helping to relax the muscles and ease superficial tension, Swedish massage may also help boost circulation throughout the body.
Try it if: you're new to massage or you're looking to relieve light to moderate tension in your back and shoulders.
Also known as "yoga massage," Thai massage typically sees the practitioner performing a series of intense stretches on a fully-clothed client.
Benefits: Improved flexibility, greater range of motion, and temporary relief from pain are just a few of the reported benefits of Thai massage.
Try it if: you want help achieving deeper stretches and like the idea of remaining totally clothed during a massage.
A Japanese style of massage rooted in Chinese medicine, shiatsu massage aims to eliminate blockages that keep the body's energy force, or Qi, from flowing freely. Therapists use many different techniques, often employing their elbows, knees, and even their feet, as they work out tension from the back, joints, and limbs.
Benefits: Shiatsu massage is regarded as an excellent form of stress release as it promotes good circulation and the production of oxytocin.
Try it if: you need to seriously de-stress and relax. Or, if you're curious about Eastern types of massage and need a good introduction.
As it's name suggests, deep-tissue massage aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of muscle tissue and fascia. As such, it uses more intense kneading techniques than Swedish.
Benefits: Deep-tissue massage is ideal for releasing chronic tension and may also help improve range of motion.
Try it if: you suffer from chronic aches and pains or want more pressure than classic Swedish massage offers.
Aromatherapy massages are best for people who want to have an emotional healing component to their massage. This type of massage can help:
boost your mood
reduce stress and anxiety
reduce symptoms of depression
relieve muscle tension
relieve pain
Aromatherapy massages combine soft, gentle pressure with the use of essential oils. Your massage therapist will usually decide which essential oils to use, but you can let them know if you have a preference. Essential oils are diluted before being applied to the skin.
During the massage, you’ll be given a full-body massage while inhaling essential oils through a diffuser and absorbing them through your skin. Sometimes an aromatherapy massage will only focus on your back, shoulders, and head. You won’t wear any clothing other than underwear, which is optional.
An aromatherapy massage is 60–90 minutes.
Sports massage is a good option if you have a repetitive use injury to a muscle, such as what you may get from playing a sport. It’s also a good option if you’re prone to injuries because it can be used to help prevent sports injuries. You may also use sports massage to increase flexibility and performance. Additionally, sports massage can be used to relieve pain, anxiety, and muscle tension.
A sports massage can be done as a full-body massage or the massage therapist may focus on the parts of the body that need the most attention. Deep pressure may be alternated with soothing strokes depending on your needs.
You can have a sports massage while clothed or naked. If you prefer to wear clothing, make sure it’s thin, loose, and allows the therapist access to your muscles. Loose shorts and a tank top are options.
The massage will last for 60–90 minutes.
Massage therapists knead two clients side-by-side in the same room. Swedish massage is the typical modality used, but you may also be welcome to request other types of massages such as deep-tissue or hot stone.
Benefits: Though it often has a romantic context, a couples massage is also a great way to reconnect with a close friend, sister, mother, daughter, or anyone you don't mind being semi-undressed around.
Try it if: you're looking to reconnect with a romantic partner or you can't bear to be parted from your spa buddy for an hour.
This type of massage is not a technique, it is basically a setup where the massage is done on the entire body rather selecting stressed parts or pressure points. Your body may feel stress or pressure at particular parts that you can feel. However, it is also possible that you cannot feel or cannot determine which part of the body is causing stress or pain for you.
In such conditions having a whole-body massage ensures that all possible pain points are addressed and your body goes back to a completely functional point. Having a complete massage is recommended and advised to anybody belonging to any profession, or work routine. A full body massage can be performed before starting a new work-life, before getting involved in a hectic event at home or office.
A body scrub removes dead skin cells, increases blood circulation and cleanses skin through exfoliation. Also known as body polish,it consists of a liquid base with exfoliating granules which slough off dead skin when you massage it over your body. This action boosts blood circulation and drains your lymph nodes by increasing the blood flow to your skin’s surface. Sugar, salt and walnut shell powder are popular exfoliating components in natural body scrubs as they are abrasive enough to scrub skin but gentle enough to not damage it.
One must include this treatment in their skin care routine as it is essential for one to maintain soft, smooth and healthy skin.
This massage style aims to relieve pregnancy pains for expecting mothers. Instead of lying on her back, the client will either recline on her side or use a massage table with a hole cut in it that allows her to recline on her stomach.
Benefits: Reduces pain brought on by pregnancy, and also may help with depression, insomnia, and anxiety.
Try it if: your pregnancy is causing you significant lower back pain (just make sure to check with your doctor first).
There’s nothing better than a massage to ease aching muscles after a long hard working day. But you don’t necessarily need to book in with a masseuse - the use of water to treat the body is as old as time and still practiced today to aid the body of many different problems. Jacuzzis use hydromassage to stimulate muscles. At a temperature of around 100°F-102°F, the warmth gets to work relaxing the most stressed muscles, while hydromassage increases blood flow and rids the body of toxins. Toxins and restricted blood flow can be the cause of pain and inflammation, so regular jacuzzi use is excellent for improving our health.
Getting rid of stress is vital for everyone, but it’s often overlooked, minimised or left until we reach a crisis. Regular relaxation, such as chilling out in jacuzzis, should be an integral part of your life - as important as exercise and healthy eating. It’s one of the top benefits of jacuzzi use, thanks to a combination of heat, massage and buoyancy help to clear the mind and relax. As well as offering the comforting feeling of serenity, jacuzzi jets also ease knotted stressed muscles muscles, making you feel brand new.
Rather than relying solely on their hands to work out stubborn knots, the massage therapist places heated basalt stones on the back to help melt tight areas.
Benefits: Besides helping to relieve tense areas, the heat from the stones can help improve blood flow.
Try it if: you suffer from hard-to-loosen trouble spots and like the therapeutic heat.
