Choosing Your Massage: Does the Massage Type Matter?

Choosing Your Massage: Does the Massage Type Matter?

There are different times in our lives when we all feel the stress and wear-and-tear that life can create for our bodies. For some people, the answer lies in medications or recreational activities to rest and recuperate. Others want a more direct and immediate natural solution for their pain, anxiety, or exhaustion. Massage often provides that solution. Of course, that raises one important question: which type of massage should you get – and does it make a difference?

Manual manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues can have a dramatic impact on your bodily health and mental wellbeing, but different types of massage can produce different results. A proper understanding of these techniques can be helpful for determining which massage will work best for your needs.

Swedish Massage:

Take the Swedish massage, for example. This type of massage uses long, sweeping strokes known as effleurage to warm up the muscles and other tissues before the therapist gets to work with the heavier strokes referred to as petrissage. This two-tiered approach to massage can effectively relieve tight muscles and knots in a way that leaves you feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Shiatsu Massage:

Shiatsu requires the therapist to apply direct pressure to various points of the body. The masseuse can use fingers, feet, elbows, and other body parts to apply this pressure. The Shiatsu technique also relies on stretches and rotation of body limbs to aid in the process. This type of massage is a form of acupressure, and incorporates many of the same principles used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. When done properly, it can relieve muscle stress and exhaustion, and even improve your blood’s circulation. As a result, it is often used to deal with injuries and to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.

Deep Tissue Massage:

The deep tissue massage is a more intensive technique designed to reach into the deeper layers of your muscles, tendons, and other tissues. It resembles the Swedish massage in its use of similar strokes, but the technique is delivered with more force. As a result, this technique can be beneficial for relieving muscle damage, and for helping to remove lactic acid buildup from the body. It’s a favorite for athletes who are suffering from the muscle exhaustion that lactic acid creates.

Obviously, there are many important differences between these and other types of massages – both in terms of how the techniques are used, and the results they can achieve. To maximize your benefits, you should work with your therapist to ensure that you’re getting the massage you need to accomplish your most important goals.

At Tiffany Beauty Spa, our professional massage therapists can help you to meet those objectives and ensure that your aches, pains, and tension are addressed properly. They’ll work with you to evaluate your needs and select the right therapy to deal with your pain, stress, or healing needs.
