Basic massage is just kneading the muscles that ache. Deep tissue massage is for the pros. Learn to feel a person’s muscles and know when they are tight. Knead gently and increase the pressure as they guide you. Add a little gentle scratching to a back rub and you’ll be the queen/king of their heart!
That is very exciting I am a Massage Therapist. though where i am there isn’t much business. but to answer your question.
Esalan massage is one that is the common one or Swedish massage.
depends on what your interest is in.
there’s
pregnancy massage
mingrain massage
sinus massage
pressure point
hot stone therpay
spa therapy massage
sports massage
working on pactients with illnesses
cancer pactient massage
physical therapy massage.
deep tissue
and so on.
when you go to class you’ll most likely learn Swedish or Esalan massage.
which is the bases for the type of massage you may want to do.
