2. Reflexology Massage
6. Sports Massage
The purpose of a sports massage is to
prevent and treat injuries, improve
flexibility, and enhance athletic
performance so it can be used by athletes
to prepare for pre-event, post-event,
during training or recover from sporting
events.
7. Pregnancy Massage
This massage is modified for an
expectant mother to relieve fatigue,
enhance sleep and calm an active baby
but is most often used to promote
5
relaxation. Massage therapists who will
perform the techniques must have
specialized training and are certified in
prenatal massage.
Types of Massage
Each client has different preferences that suits their
lifestyle and current body situation. There are a lot of massages
to choose from and categorized in numerous ways differently.
These types of massage attract its own type of client, and
requires its own set of skills on the part of the practitioner.
1. Relaxation/stress reduction.
The most common kind of massage, relaxation or stress reduction
massage includes the types of treatments common in resorts, spas, private
offices and client homes.
2. Sports massage.
This rapidly growing field encompasses athletic training massage, and
massage designed to help an athlete prepare for competition and recover
from competing.
3. Medical massage.
Working by prescription, or in a hospital, or in a physical therapist
office, the medical massage therapist works with pathologies, pain or
recovery from injury.
4. Chiropractic adjunct.
Working in chiropractors’ offices is becoming more and more common,
especially on the West coast. Some practitioners operate relatively
independently from the chiropractor, with a cross-referral agreement.
5. Transformational or psychotherapeutic massage.
Some massage therapists focus on the shifts in awareness and
psychological insight that can be brought about with massage. These
therapists often work by referral from psychotherapists. They often combine
another form of bodywork with massage.
6. Pampering.
Probably a branch of relaxation massage, pampering refers to the type
of treatment that might be found in some spa and hair salons. This
treatment is usually thought of as more of a beautification treatment than a
health treatment, and might include salt glows, loofa rubs, and light
Swedish massage.
7. Chair massage.
Massage or shiatsu done with clothing on, client seated, in any
location. This can be done as an introduction to massage for clients who
may not come in for an office massage, or can be a continuing form of
stress-reduction therapy when done on a regular basis, as in the office
setting.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Before a client decide on which massage style is best for them, you
need to ask the following questions as part of the assessment.
Do you simply want a massage for relaxation and stress control?
Or do you need symptom relief or help with a certain health condition?
Wellness services that facilitate true community engagement can build
on what individuals themselves identify as supporting them to improve well-
being. It recognizes people as contributing to their own health and not
purely as receivers of costly services/interventions and also recognizes the
skills and experience of non-clinical staff and volunteers in supporting
health improvement.
