What is massage?
Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure techniques. 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 energize you.

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

Sports massage: This is similar to Swedish massage but is geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.

Trigger point massage: This massage focuses on trigger points, or sensitive areas of tight muscle fibres that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.

Benefits of massage
Massage is increasingly being offered for a wide range of medical conditions and situations. Massage also is effective in injury prevention through pre- and post-event massage treatments and lifestyle assessment.
