In this episode I discuss a lot of different kinds of Massage. This is a brief overview of different styles and what the names really mean. Spoiler: a lot of names don't tell you as much as you might think.
Here’s the list of all the styles I talk about: Swedish, deep tissue, relaxation, sports massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, thai massage, acupressure, shiatsu, tui-na, anma, reflexology, craniosacral, lymph drainage, lomi lomi, hot stone, aromatherapy, Rolfing, and structural integration
And here are a few links to things I mentioned in the episode:
