There are two popular styles of massage therapy, both of which have a place in your everyday life: (1) Relaxation massage, which is generally used when one is feeling stressed from work or family life, or overwhelmed by a hectic schedule and is often what people receive when they participate in a “spa day”; and (2) Therapeutic aka Deep Tissue massage, which is used to help people work through and heal from injuries, conditions, and dysfunctions. Despite their differences, both types of massage therapy can elicit an emotional response.
