Common Types of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is one of the most popular forms of complementary and alternative medicine in the United States. It relieves pain and stress, improves flexibility, increases energy, and promotes overall health and well-being. There are numerous massage therapy types, from Swedish to deep tissue massage; we discuss them in detail below.
Swedish Massage Therapy
Swedish massage is the most common type of massage therapy. It is also called classic massage or relaxation therapy. It typically uses long strokes and kneading techniques to relax muscles, relieve tension and encourage circulation.
Deep Tissue Massage Therapy
Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that relieves chronic pain and tension in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The therapist uses slow strokes and firm pressure to work out scar tissue, trigger point knots, and adhesions in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Sports Massage Therapy
Sports massage focuses on increasing flexibility, range of motion, and circulation without using oils or lotions on the skin as traditional Swedish massages do. They are designed specifically for athletes who need their muscles stretched out before competing in their sport or exercise routine to reduce the risk of injury during activity.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is an ancient practice that has gained popularity in recent years. The benefits of massage include:
Relief from muscle pain, stiffness, and sorenessSeveral scientific studies have also shown that massage can help promote the release of endorphins and oxytocin, our body's natural pain fighters. These chemicals are released during massages and help reduce the pain sensation for both the person giving and receiving treatment.- Relaxation and stress reductionMassage therapy can reduce stress-related symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Regular massage therapy may also ease chronic pain associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by helping patients learn how to manage emotions that trigger the pain response.
- Improved circulationMassage increases blood circulation to the skin's surface, which improves the oxygenation of body tissues and helps remove waste products from muscles and joints through increased lymphatic drainage.
