Massage can be divided into several main categories, including deep tissue, trigger point therapy, acupressure, Swedish massage, and aromatherapy. Deep tissue massage focuses on releasing tight muscles and connective tissues, while trigger point therapy targets specific areas that may be sore or tender. Acupressure uses pressure points to help relax the body, while Swedish massage is a more general form of bodywork that involves long strokes and kneading movements. Finally, aromatherapy utilizes essential oils to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
