The Best Massage Type for Your Individual Self

Have you always liked the idea of treating yourself to a pampering massage
session? If yes, then it is beneficial to know the different types of massages 
available and their ultimate purpose. If you wish to enjoy a physiological session, 
then ayurvedic and shiatsu are your safest bets. Ayurvedic is one of the lesser 
known massage types but is highly regarded in the industry. Even if you are 
looking for an exotic yet more relaxing massage it is also shiatsu or 
ayurvedic that will satisfy this. Listed below are some of the different types of 
massage so see which one is best for you.


  • Aromatherapy: This particular massage entails the use of essential oils originating from various plants. These oils are used for their different therapeutic properties. If, for example, you wish to be energised, stress-free, balanced or relaxed, oils with the matching properties are used in massaging your body to achieve this desired result. One of which is lavender. This massage is mostly for those experiencing stress, whether it be physical or emotional.


  • Ayurvedic: Another unique massage type that is geared towards balancing the energy in your body. It is one of the most effective means of slowing the skin’s process of aging. Mostly centred on the energy points within your body, this type of massage adopts the use of friction and pressure resulting in complete detoxification of your body. This goes a long way to help your body relax, improve blood circulation and also makes your body tissues more supple. This massage also involves the use of essential oils while also using herbs to cleanse and exfoliate the skin.


  • Shiatsu: Always likened to acupuncture, this is a Japanese form of massage in which the acupuncture meridians are targeted but this time, with expert fingers instead of needles. With Shiatsu massage, you can enjoy constant energy boost, better immune system and overall well being. It is also great for relieving migraine, back pains, incessant weakness and certain digestive issues. With this type of massage, you will always be in high spirits.


  • Hot Stone: With this type of massage, smooth stones are heated and placed on target areas on your body. With the warmth being generated from the stone, the tight muscles in your body are loosened and at the same time the energy centres in your body are balanced. It is especially beneficial to those suffering from muscle tension.




These are just a few of the many different types of massage available. In order to make the most of your massage sessions, make sure you are not suffering from any forms of abrasions or skin rashes. It is also advised that you should also not have any dislocations or fractures if you wish to get a massage.
