Massage can be classified into several categories. Deep tissue massage focuses on specific areas of tension and soreness, while Swedish massage uses long strokes to relax muscles. Sports massage is designed for athletes and combines elements of deep tissue and Swedish massage. Myofascial release focuses on releasing tight muscles in the body. Lymphatic drainage helps to reduce swelling and inflammation. Trigger point therapy targets trigger points that cause pain and discomfort in the body.
