What
are some types of Massage?
Swedish massage is what many people think of when massage is mentioned.
Techniques can include long flowing strokes, deep kneading, surface frictions,
light tappings, and joint movements. Massage
Therapists are trained in specialized techniques which they may use in
combination with their regular massage. For example, there are special
techniques to relieve painful trigger points, relax contracted fascia
(the muscles’ protective coverings), realign and heal injured tissue,
aid lymphatic drainage, or restore the natural balance and flow of energy
in the body.
