Types of Massages
Massages do not just feel good they are very beneficial to your health. A message consists of you lying on a table while a professional manipulates your skin, tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
These professionals use their fingers, forearms, elbows, and hands to perform the massage. A massage may be anything from deep pressure to light stroking. There are several different types of massages theses massages include deep massage, Swedish massage, sports massage, or trigger point massage.
The deep massage is a slower forceful massage that targets deep layers of the connective tissue and muscles.
They are usually used to help with damage to the muscles from injury. A Swedish massage is a more gentle massage that helps to energize and relax.
A sports massage is a gentle massage that involves deep circular movements and vibrations to help with the treatment or prevention of athletes.
A trigger point massage is a massage that focuses on tight muscle fibers caused by injuries.
Benefits of a Relaxing Massage
Massages have been proven to help with digestive disorders, anxiety, headaches, fibromyalgia, soft tissue strains or injuries, or sports injuries.
