Some types of massages are more relaxing than others. The type of massage for you may not be the same type for someone else. If your goal is relaxation, you need to know which massage options are best for you. Here's a look at the best massages for relaxing.

The most common type of massage therapy, Swedish massage will help to relax you with a combination of specific movements including:

• Muscle kneading and rolling
• Long, sweeping strokes
• Friction

Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage. It’s a good option if you have chronic muscle problems, such as soreness, injury, or imbalance. It can help relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, and anxiety.

During a deep tissue massage, your massage therapist will use slow strokes and deep finger pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues. You can be naked during this massage or wear your underwear.

The massage will last for 60–90 minutes. 

Designed for specific treatment of injuries and ailments. Each session is tailored to the clients needs. 

From chronic pain relief to frozen shoulder, low back pain, and sciatica; many sources of pain can be addressed.

Cupping is a safe, traditional treatment that helps resolve chronic muscle tightness and pain faster than massage therapy alone.

 The suction from the cups increases circulation to the area where the cups are placed. The additional blood flow to that area can help relieve muscle tension and promote cell repair.
