Which Massage Styles Are Best?

If you have had a massage in the last few years you will have noticed there are more options then ever before. You may have noticed that different massage styles are popular at different times. And you may have wondered whether each was just part of a passing fad or the latest, greatest massage technique? Even more important is how can you tell whether the latest massage style will actually help you?

Styles used in massage therapy range from long, smooth strokes to short, percussive strokes. Some massage therapists use oils and lotions; others do not. Most massage therapists have clients unclothe for a massage, but some do not. A massage can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours.

Before you can decide which massage style is best for you, you need to ask yourself a question. Do you simply want a massage for relaxation and stress control? Or do you need symptom relief or help with a certain health condition?

Before booking a massage, let the therapist know what you’re looking for and ask which style the therapist uses. Here at Structura Body Therapies uses more than one style. Our therapists can customize your massage, depending on your age, condition, or any special needs or goals you have.
