There are many different types of massage, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, acupressure, and myofascial release. Each type has its own specific techniques and goals. For example, Swedish massage focuses on relaxing the muscles while increasing circulation, while deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers to help reduce tension and pain. Trigger point therapy helps alleviate muscular knots and tightness, while acupressure uses pressure points to stimulate energy flow in the body. Myofascial release is a form of soft-tissue manipulation that helps improve flexibility and range of motion.
