Massage SPAs and massage therapists can now post their massage agencies here and they will gain visibility.
Massage is the practice of rubbing and kneading the body using the hands. During a massage, a trained massage therapist will apply gentle or strong pressure to the muscles and joints of the body to ease pain and tension.
Swedish massage is a gentle full-body massage that’s great for people who:
It can help release muscle knots, and it’s also a good choice for when you want to fully relax during a massage.
For this massage, you’ll remove your clothes, though you may choose to keep your underwear on. You’ll be covered with a sheet while lying on the massage table. The massage therapist will move the sheet to uncover areas that they are actively working on.
The massage therapist will use a combination of:
Usually, a Swedish massage will last 60 to 90 minutes.
Hot stone massage is best for people who have muscle pain and tension or who simply want to relax.
This type of therapeutic massage is similar to a Swedish massage, only the massage therapist uses heated stones instead of or in addition to their hands.
Hot stone massage may help:
During a hot stone massage, heated stones are placed on different areas of the whole body. Your therapist may hold a stone as they massage different parts of your body using Swedish massage techniques with gentle pressure. Sometimes, cold stones are also used.
You don’t wear clothes for hot stone massage unless you’d prefer to wear your underwear. You’ll be covered with a sheet.
Usually, the massage is 90 minutes long.
Aromatherapy massages are best for people who enjoy scent and want to have an emotional healing component to their massage. This type of massage can help:
Aromatherapy massages combine soft, gentle pressure with the use of essential oils. Your massage therapist will usually decide which essential oils to use, but you can let them know if you have a preference. Essential oils are diluted before being applied to the skin.
During the massage, you’ll be given a full-body massage while inhaling essential oils through a diffuser and absorbing them through your skin.
Sometimes, an aromatherapy massage will only focus on your back, shoulders, and head. You won’t wear any clothing, but underwear is optional.
An aromatherapy massage is 60 to 90 minutes.
Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage. It’s a good option if you have muscle problems, such as:
During a deep tissue massage, your massage therapist will use slow strokes and deep finger pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues. You can be naked during this massage or wear your underwear.
The massage will last 60 to 90 minutes.
While deep tissue may be more intense, you shouldn’t feel any pain or soreness.
