How massage therapy works

Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage therapy can range from light stroking to deep pressure. There are many different types of massage, including these common types:

Swedish massage

This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energise you.

Deep massage

This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is commonly used to help with muscle damage from injuries.

Sports massage

This is similar to Swedish massage, but it's geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or to treat injuries.

Trigger point massage

This massage focuses on specific areas of tight muscle fibres that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.

Speak to your massage therapists about which type of massage therapy is best suited to your current needs.
