Massage Techniques Guide
Interest in different massage techniques and what they can do for us has practically exploded in recent years. The Massage Techniques Guide is here to provide information and resources for those interested in learning more about the many benefits that can be derived from massage and the different methods from which to choose.
There are actually over a hundred different types of massage. The more well-known include Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu, sports, reflexology and hot stone massage. We will compare and highlight the techniques used today and explore the history of this ancient practice.
Massage therapy techniques have changed over the years and many practitioners now offer combinations of various forms of massage. For example, while hot stone massage is by itself a type of massage, many massage therapists are incorporating the use of these special stones to further enhance the overall experience and benefits for their clients. It is perhaps worthwhile to point out that it is the client and the client’s condition or desired goal that should be the determining factor for what type of technique is employed. Massage can do many things and provide many benefits, but as with most things in life, it’s always advisable to use the proper tool for the job at hand.
While this guide will not explore erotic massaging techniques, which are not only inappropriate but also illegal to request at a spa or massage center, techniques to be used at home for couples will be included. Rather than used as a prelude to lovemaking, massage is a highly recommended way for couples to simply relax together in an intimate fashion.

Massages are fantastic. And now some insurance companies are reimbursing for them. You may have to book through a chiropractor or have a doctor’s order for it, so check on that first.
But they are, as you say, a wonderful stress reliever!
Massage is gaining more and more popularity because of its amazingly relaxing potential. In Canada most insurance companies will reimburse you right away, you don’t even need a prescription, but you have to go to a registered massage therapist.
