Types of MassageThere are many types of massage and sometimes massage techniques become fashionable. Though some consumers may know a specific massage modality or technique they want, it is generally best to ask your massage therapist what massage modality will give you the results you want.  Most massage therapists use a variety of massage modalities or types in a massage session to best achieve desired results.

  • Swedish: The most common type of massage, to relax and energize you.
  • Deep tissue: For muscle damage from an injury, such as whiplash or back strain.

After the Massage

After the Massage

Here are some tips for after the massage:

  • Drink lots of water. This helps the body release toxins that you were able to release during the massage.
  • Plan to take the first 20 minutes after a massage lightly. For example, go on a short walk or sit quietly. This allows the massage to settle into the body.
  • After many massages, a nice warm bath is very refreshing.
  • If you are dizzy or light-headed after the massage, do not get off the table too fast.
  • Ask your practitioner for some self-massage tips for common tension areas
  • Maintain regular massage or bodywork appointments to keep stress and tight muscles at manageable levels
