9. SWEDISH MASSAGE

The Swedish massage is one of the most classic and usual massages, utilizing five basic techniques – stroking, vibrating, tapping, kneading, and rubbing. Its procedures are intended to increase the circulatory system’s function and relax the muscles. It also aids in the treatment of stress and insomnia, as well as the relief of back pain and headaches.

 

10. DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

This massage is intended to treat or reduce the intensity of chronic pain and aches in persons who suffer from them. Very light pressure is used at first to warm up the muscles and prepare them for the massage, followed by techniques similar to those used in Swedish massage. The massage procedure calls for using the forearms, knuckles, and thumbs. These methods enable the therapist to target and treat specific locations. People who suffer from muscle tightness, limited mobility, postural issues, and other persistent aches would benefit significantly from deep tissue massage.

11. SHIATSU MASSAGE

Shi means “fingers” in Japanese and also means “pressure.” This approach derives from ancient Taoism and is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The primary goal of Shiatsu is to repair imbalances in the body.

A certain amount of pressure is applied to various spots on the body throughout the massage with the sole objective of boosting healthy energy flows and balancing disharmonies. These sorts of massage therapists are ardent believers that one’s physical health is strongly tied to unbalanced energy flows in the body.

Shiatsu has many benefits, including stimulating the lymphatic and hormone systems, relieving neck and back pain, and lowering tension, anxiety, and sadness.
