Relaxation
This one is pretty easy to work out. A relaxation massage will assist the body to fully relax. Pressure is light to moderate with long gliding and flowing strokes, with a rhythmic feel. It is a pain-free massage therapy and aims to de-stress and relax the mind and body. Some people may refer to as a Swedish Massage. It is a whole-body massage.
Remedial
Remedial Massage is a targeted massage treatment that focuses on the part of the body that needs rehabilitation, such as a sore knee, shoulder etc. Pressure during the treatment will vary depending on what is best for treating the specific area. Remedial massage is ideal for chronic pain and injuries that require specific treatment.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue Massage – is similar to a relaxation massage but a firmer pressure is used. Pressure used can be described as a “good hurt”. This added pressure can enhance the therapeutic benefits of the massage, relieve tension throughout the body and can assist in recovery from exercise or injury. It is a whole body treatment.
Therapeutic
Therapeutic massage is a broad term that describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress and work on a specific problem. The term therapeutic means healing, which is why people seek out massage as it helps in the relief of pain, aids recovery, reduce stress and anxiety and assists the body into a relaxed state.
Indian Head Massage
Indian head massage, also known as champissage, is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition. It originates from an Indian alternative medicine system called Ayerveda, (translated as the 'science of life'), whereby the mind and body are intricately connected and thus can influence one another. It is great for headaches and also improves mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
