Once thought of as an alternative therapy or a harbinger of relaxation, massage therapy is now recognized for its unique medical benefits. For people with motor impairments or spasticity, massage therapy has been proven to help reduce pain and stiffness by relaxing tired muscles. Massage rubs away discomfort and brings about a greater sense of peace and harmony.
What are the different types of massage?
Massage techniques vary by person and by need. They use differing techniques, varying levels of pressure, changing focus areas, and expressed desired outcomes. Massage therapists usually specialize in certain types of massage, and massage salons usually list and explain their offerings.
