What Is the Classification of Massage Therapies and How Do They Differ in Benefits? - #14244
I have been researching massage therapies, and I keep coming across different types of massages, including Ayurvedic, deep tissue, Thai, and Swedish massage, but I am unsure about the classification of massage therapies and how they differ in terms of benefits. Ayurveda offers Abhyanga, which is a full-body oil massage for detox and stress relief, Potli Massage, which uses herbal pouches for pain relief, Pizhichil, which involves warm oil therapy for muscle relaxation, and Marma Therapy, which focuses on energy points for healing. However, Western therapies like Swedish massage improve circulation, Deep Tissue massage works on muscle tension, and Thai massage focuses on stretching and flexibility. For those who have experienced different massage therapies, how do they compare in terms of relaxation, pain relief, and long-term benefits? Which one is best for chronic pain and stress management? Would love insights into the classification of massage therapies and how to determine which one is most beneficial based on individual needs.
