Your answer will point you in the right direction.
💆♀️ Step 2: Learn the Basics of Popular Massage Types
1. Swedish Massage – Best for Beginners
If you’re looking to simply relax, this is the go-to choice. Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes and gentle kneading to reduce stress and improve circulation.
✅ Ideal for: First-timers, stress relief, light aches
🕒 Duration: 60 to 90 minutes
2. Deep Tissue Massage – For Chronic Pain or Stiff Muscles
This one targets deeper muscle layers and knots. It’s firmer and more focused—great if you’ve been dealing with back pain or work-related tension.
✅ Ideal for: Athletes, desk job workers, muscle soreness
🕒 Duration: 60 minutes
3. Aromatherapy Massage – For Mental Calm & Emotional Balance
Combines light massage with essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint. Perfect if you’re mentally drained or anxious.
✅ Ideal for: Mood lifting, anxiety relief, light physical stress
🕒 Duration: 45 to 75 minutes
4. Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage – For Targeted Relief
Short on time? This focused massage relieves tension in the upper body and is great for people dealing with headaches or screen fatigue.
✅ Ideal for: Busy professionals, headache relief, quick fixes
🕒 Duration: 30 to 45 minutes
5. Foot Reflexology – For Full-Body Balance via the Feet
Even if you don’t want a full-body massage, reflexology offers deep relaxation by stimulating pressure points in the feet that correspond to your entire body.
✅ Ideal for: Energy boost, tired legs, internal balance
🕒 Duration: 30 to 60 minutes
