 
1. Amma Therapy. This type of body therapy combines several different types 
of massage therapy in one session. It goes beyond this, however. It refers to a 
push-and-pull motion that is used within the massage. The goal of this type of 
massage therapy is to rejuvenate the energy flow of the body.
2. Ayurvedic Massage. This type of massage is similar to acupressure but it 
comes from India instead of from China. Like with acupressure, it uses massage 
on top of specific pressure points to heal the body. In Ayurvedic massage, these 
healing points are called marmas. There are two goals of this massage. The first 
is to heal pain. The second is to detoxify the body.
3. Balinese Massage. This is a type of 
massage qingdao that you 
don’t hear about very often. However, you may be familiar with the other types 
of massage that are combined together to create this unique massage. They 
include Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage, acupressure massage, energy work 
such as Reiki and even aromatherapy.
4. Belavi. This is the name for a unique type of facial massage. It is an 
age-defying rejuvenation massage. It reduces wrinkles and increases the healthy 
glow in your face. It is sometimes called “the facelift massage”. The massage is 
done on the face, limbs and upper body. A facelift including a mask and 
exfoliation are also done.
5. Body Electric Massage. This type of massage is a blend of two other types 
of massage. The first is Thai Massage, which is a type of clothed massage that 
uses stretching as its core. The second is Swedish massage, which is the more 
hands-on type of “body rub” that you may be familiar with. However, there’s more 
to the massage than this. It’s a spiritual based massage that derives from 
Buddhism and Tantra. The goal of this massage is to heal the body through 
attention to each chakra of the body. Another goal of this massage is to raise 
self-awareness of the sensual self.
6. Canadian Deep Tissue Muscle Massage. This type of 
massage in qingdao is 
designed specifically for pain relief. The massage therapist is trained to heal 
specific muscle problems in the body. It is usually a quick, clothed massage 
that is done with the patient seated in a chair.
7. Craniosacral Massage Therapy. This is a massage that is focused on the 
head as well as the spine. It is probably the type of massage that is closest in 
nature to chiropractic care. Subtle adjustments may be done to the neck and 
spine during this type of massage. However, this is primarily a light-touch 
massage that often focuses on head massage.
8. Esalen Massage. This is a light-touch massage that is designed 
specifically to heal emotions. It is the physical equivalent of going to see a 
psychologist. Although you may not talk about your psychological, emotional and 
spiritual issues with your Esalen massage therapist, the goal is to heal them. 
The underlying belief is that the power of human touch is so strong that it has 
the power to heal these problems.
9. Five Element Shiatsu. This is a rhythmic motion massage doe to the back or 
stomach to heal the body. In the beginning stages of this massage, the massage 
therapist will use all of his or her senses to gain a complete understanding of 
the patient’s body. The healer will tailor the massage to the specific problems 
uncovered during these first stages. The goal of this type of massage is to 
create energy harmony in the body.
10. Lomi Lomi. This Hawaiian form of massage uses an undulating motion when 
rubbing the body. Think the waves of the ocean or the dance of the hula. As with 
many other forms of massage, the purpose of this massage is to unblock the 
body’s trapped energy.
11. Manual Lymphatic Drainage. This type of gentle 
massage in nanjing is 
designed to improve the flow of the body’s lymph fluid. It uses a very specific 
amount of pressure that is applied in a circular motion to achieve the intended 
healing results.
12. Pfrimmer Deep Muscle Therapy. This rare type of massage is a deep body 
massage that is designed for advanced healing. This massage is designed to 
actually rejuvenate muscles that have been damaged and to give assistance to 
people suffering from paralysis of the body. It goes far beyond the basics of 
deep tissue massage and uses highly specialized techniques to heal the body at 
the cellular level.
13. Raindrop Technique Massage. This Native American massage technique is 
heavily focused on the use of aromatherapy. Scented massage oils are applied to 
the hands, feet and spine during this massage. The massage is a back massage 
that uses heat and motion to realign the spine. The goal of the massage is to 
release toxins from the spine to heal the whole body.
14. Rolfing. Another type of very deep tissue massage is rolfing. It is 
essentially chiropractics for the muscles of the body. The goal of this type of 
massage is to realign the body’s muscles the way that they are supposed to be. 
This type of massage is not a one-time deal; it is completed in a series of 
sessions over weeks or months.
15. Russian Massage. This type of massage is a pain-relieving massage. It 
alternates long deep strokes with short quick strokes to heal the muscles. It is 
sometimes described as a combination of Swedish massage and sports massage.
16. Thai Herbal Massage. Thai massage, a type of stretching-based massage, is 
very common. In contrast, Thai herbal massage may not be as easy to find at day 
spas in your area. Your best bet is to research skin care services because it is 
sometimes considered to be more of a facial than a true massage. However, it is 
notable that this type of massage is often done to the whole body and not just 
the face. It has the hallmarks of a facial in the sense that it uses heat and 
steam and a body wrap to offer a relaxing, rejuvenating experience. However, it 
does incorporate hands-on massage with deep muscle manipulation using hot oil 
and hot compresses.
17. Trigger Point Myotherapy Massage. This type of massage uses 
pressure-based muscle manipulation. The massage is focused on trigger points. 
These are areas where the muscle has gotten stuck in a spasm. The massage works 
out the spasm. This is a deep tissue massage that some people may find to be 
painful or too intense.
