Massage therapy is a very diverse field of work and there are many types of massage therapies to choose from that range from full body massage to highly targeted methods that relieve muscular pain and dysfunction. Five of the most popular types of massage are Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy, Hot Stone Therapy, Sports Massage, and Neuromuscular Massage Therapy.
1. Swedish Massage Therapy is the most common type of massage therapy in the United States and perhaps the world. Swedish massage therapy is known for its long gliding strokes, kneading strokes, friction strokes, and percussion as well as joint movements that feel great while improving range of motion. Swedish massage therapy is most often thought of as a “spa” type of massage therapy, but it’s much more than that. Swedish massage therapy is great for reducing stress, improving circulation, improving range of motion of your joints, and helping you actually feel better in your own skin. Swedish massage therapy can range from light pressure to a heavier pressure depending on your comfort level. It’s more than just a “feel good” massage therapy it is very therapeutic massage therapy.
2. Right behind Swedish massage therapy in popularity and availability, Deep Tissue Massage Therapy is one of the best known and most often requested types of massage therapies. This massage therapy shares some strokes and techniques with Swedish massage therapy and is used to root out chronic tension stress and pain in the deeper musculature and connective tissues that contribute to pain and loss of range of motion in joints. While some massage therapy practitioners use a heavier, sometimes uncomfortable pressure in Deep Tissue Massage Therapy it should be noted that a more moderate pressure can reach deep tissues and achieve great results with little discomfort.
3. Hot Stone Massage Therapy – this type of massage therapy is probably the most relaxing and luxurious massage being given today. Heated basalt stones are added to the massage therapy and are used by the massage therapist to perform a mini heat treatment as well as gliding massage strokes that seem to melt away stress and tension and pain.
4. Sports Massage Therapy – just like it sounds, Sports Massage Therapy is geared toward athletes at every level from professional to the “weekend warrior” and those who strive for a higher level of fitness. Rather than a specific form of massage therapy, Sports Massage Therapy is generally a combination of massage therapy techniques tailored to the athlete’s needs. The Sports Massage Therapy might be applied to one area to relieve pain or might be more general in nature to assure overall performance.
5. Neuromuscular Massage Therapy – also called “NMT” or Neuromuscular Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy is a well known massage therapy technique for relieving muscular pain, and muscle spasm throughout the body. Neuromuscular Massage Therapy is effective with myofascial trigger points causing “referred” pain that originates from someplace other than where it’s felt. This massage therapy technique uses very targeted compression and friction massage therapy techniques, positioning, and stretching to release the myofascial trigger points in muscles as well as restrictions in tendons, muscular attachments, and sometimes fascia surrounding the muscle.
