Massage and Bodywork Techniques and Modalities
As you can see from the following list, there are many different types and styles of massage and bodywork techniques! Many massage therapists have taken workshops or studied a variety of techniques, and tend to incorporate bits and pieces of each into their own unique massage style. So when you ask a massage therapist, "What type of massage do you do?", it is sometimes very hard to answer, even to another massage therapist that might know the technique(s) studied. If you are looking for a specific technique, ask if the massage therapist can give that type of massage. For example, "Do you do Trager® work?", "Do you do Esalen Massage?", or "Do you do Structural Relief Therapy?". If you are looking for stress relief and relaxation, let your massage therapist know that. If you are looking for treatment for a specific injury, ask about that. It is much easier for massage therapists to see if we can meet your needs, if we know what those needs are!
