3 Most Effective Massage Therapies Available To Man

A Quick Lesson On Two Asian and One European Massages 

Thai Massage:  More energizing and rigorous than most classic forms of massage.  Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage. I use my hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work. I also use muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure during treatment. People describe Thai massage as both relaxing and energizing.

Shiatsu Massage: Performed on a mat on the floor. I will use my fingers and thumbs to apply pressure to specific points on your body's energy pathways, known as meridiens. I often use other techniques such as rocking, stretches and joint rotations. Shiatsu treatment is holistic, addressing the whole body rather than focusing on the one area where symptoms are most obvious. A shiatsu session usually lasts between 45 minutes and an hour.

Swedish Massage: I use massage oils to help get smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other classic Swedish massage moves I use include kneading, friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping. For more intense pressure you can get a deep tissue massage.  Swedish massage was pioneered by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling, at the University of Stockholm in 1812.
