8/30/20252 min read


Body ache is a part of our busy life in this era. From working many hours to poor body posture, sports injuries to stress, a break from natural treatment is the need of all. Among different therapies, one of the best treatments is a massage. But as there are numerous massages, which one would be most appropriate to heal body pain? Let us find out in detail.
Real Sense of Pain-Soothing Massages:
Deep tissue massage is for deeper layers of muscle and connective. Deep tissue is a bit rough as therapists apply forceful strokes, but knots and deep muscle tension are released. Clients experience pain later, but relief is for a very long time.
Thai massage is more active. Movement, push, and stretch like yoga. Not just lying there getting nowhere but being involved in the therapy. The arthralgia or stiffness patients will be lighter, more flexible, and energetic after it.
Swedish massage applies light kneading and stroking to unwind as it relaxes muscles. It is not as intense as deep tissue and thus can be an acceptable beginner or for very mild body aches.
Use deep tissue for chronic pain, Thai massage for stiffness, and Swedish massage for general soreness.
