Massage Therapy Techniques

A good, deep massage can help loosen muscles and keep your body in a relaxed state. It also has a positive impact on the mental state of a person by improving the quality of life for people suffering from depression and cancer. There are different types of massage therapies available but the most common ones are:

• Deep Tissue Massage: This massage technique involves kneading the muscles to release the trigger points. It is not a very relaxing massage but helps improves mobility. The fingers of the therapist apply pressure on the muscles releasing chronic muscle tension. Performing this massage with Rolyan’s deep prep tissue massage cream will aid in deep tissue mobilization and assist tissue massage by increasing friction.
• Sports Massage: A massage therapist will focus only on specific areas depending on which sports the athlete plays. The idea behind this type of a massage is to increase the endurance level of the sportsman’s body, reduce injuries and improve performance.
• Swedish Massage: A Swedish massage is a relaxing massage that involves the use of long, gentle strokes to reduce the stress hormone.
• Rolfing: Rolfing involves use of fingers to knead, poke and push the body for better blood circulation and improved movement and muscle imbalances.
• Shiatsu: In this Japanese style of massage, thumbs, fingers and palms are used to apply pressure on Shiatsu points in order to promote healing and regeneration.
• Chair Massage: Chair massage involves a 30-minute massage of the neck, head, shoulders, upper back and arms while seated in a massage chair.
