What Is Massage?
Massaging forms part of the beauty therapy industry, and involves treating the body using rubbing or kneading techniques, oils and creams. Massaging is a relaxation-oriented beauty therapy treatment that helps to relieve tension and stress. Massaging techniques can be applied to all parts of the body, but most people prefer the neck and back areas.
What Are The Various Massage Styles?
There are various massaging styles that a massage therapist can perform, with each of the different styles having a specific aim or focusing on a specific area of the body. For example:
- Deep Tissue Massage – Deep tissue massage is a type of massage intended to release muscle tension or knots.
- Pregnancy Massage – Pregnancy massage is a combination of relaxation massage and deep tissue massage.
- Relaxation Massage – Relaxation massage is a gentle, flowing style that promotes general relaxation and tension relief.
- Sports Massage – Sports massage concentrates on the prevention and treatment of injuries to muscles and tendons.
