Hi Sassenach,
There are various types of massages that you can go for. They have different techniques, and different intentions. Two of the most common massages are Swedish massage and Shiatsu. Swedish massage has its origins in the Europe and includes 5 different strokes spread across various muscles, both major and minor. The pressure can lie between light to firm. The basic aim of this massage type is to relieve muscle stress and improve blood circulation in the body or during rehabilitation from medical or sports injuries. On the other hand, Shiatsu is a Japanese massage technique whose primary aim is to correct the energy imbalances in the body. In this method, finger pressure is applied on the energy centers in the body. This system of massage uses holistic approach to relieve the stress. Both the massages are excellent, but the one right for you should depend on your personal preference.
