Types of Massage


As much as we have popular massage types such as deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, and the like, there are numerous forms of massage that many people have no idea about. These massage types have different definitions, methods and effects on the body. Knowing the different types of massage available helps you understand the ideal type of massage that you should get whenever you want to get a massage.


In the blog post, we will discuss the different types of massages, highlighting their major differences and the ideal situations where you should use each massage type.


Swedish Massage


The Swedish massage is a full body massage that uses gentle strokes to enhance the relaxation in the body. This massage type is ideal for people new to massage and looking to ease and release the tension in their bodies. This massage also works if you desire a gentle touch while relaxing and easing muscle knots.

You must take off your clothes with Swedish massage while keeping your underwear on. The massage takes place on a massage table where you will be required to lay and be covered with a white sheet. The sheet will be removed from place to place to access the areas the masseuse wants to work on.

Ideally, the Swedish massage should take between 60 and 90 minutes and include vibrations, kneading, tapping, passive joint movement techniques, long flowing strokes and deep circular motions.


Hot Stone Massage


This type of massage is ideal for two classes of people. One, people who want to relax and those suffering from muscle pain. The hot stone massage is similar to the Swedish massage in gentle touches and strokes. However, the difference is that the hot stone massage uses heated stones instead of hands, as Swedish massage.

These stones are placed on different parts of the body during the massage. Some masseuses prefer to hold the stones in their hands and use the hands to massage your body in the Swedish massage method.

This massage type does the following to the body

●      Removes or reduces pain

●      It helps to improve blood flow

●      Relieve stress

●      Reduce muscle tension

●      Promote relaxation

In the same manner as the Swedish massage, you will need to take your clothes off during the hot stone massage, except for your underwear. This massage takes about 90 minutes.


Deep Tissue Massage


The deep tissue massage differs from the Swedish massage because it uses more pressure and tension. This massage is ideal for you if you have soreness, injury, serious muscle pain, tightness and imbalance.


Deep tissue back massage Las Vegas connects with the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues through deep finger pressures and long slow strokes. You will also have to take your clothes off during the deep tissue massage. While the massage requires using hands, using a deep tissue back massage stick Las Vegas is not out of place. The massage should take about 90 minutes, and while it is intense, you should not feel any pain or soreness when you are done.


Aromatherapy Massage


This massage includes scent to induce an emotional component into its effect. If you particularly like scents and do not mind having emotional healing accompanied by the physical relief that the massage gives, the aromatic massage is the perfect massage for you. This type of massage helps to treat the following conditions;

●      Muscle tension

●      Foul mood

●      Pain

●      Depression

●      Stress and anxiety

Apart from the hand strokes, the aromatherapy massage also uses essential oils. So while the masseuse’s hand delivers gentle strokes and pressure, the essential oils deliver the scents. If you have a preferred essential oil, you should let your masseuse or massage therapists know. Else, the therapist would be the one to decide what essential oils to use, especially judging by your reason for wanting the aromatherapy massage. The essential oil will be dilated before being applied to your skin.

However, you will not only have the essential oils applied to your skin but also inhale them through the diffuser while you get a full body massage. Although the aromatherapy massage usually focuses on the shoulders, back and head, you may need to take your clothes off, except for your underwear.

Ideally, the aromatherapy massage should take between 60 and 90 minutes.


Conclusion


Those mentioned above are some of the popular types of massage we have. Of the types of massage available, the deep tissue back massage Las Vegas is the most intense. While it can be carried out with a hand, you may find your masseuse using a deep tissue back massage stick Las Vegas.
