2. Deep Tissue Massage – Relieves Deep Muscle Tension

Best for: Athletes, people who sit for long hours, or those with chronic pain. Features: Applies firm pressure to reach deeper muscle layers, alleviating pain and tightness.


3. Cupping Therapy – A Traditional Chinese Natural Therapy

Best for: Those with stiff neck and shoulders, back pain, or looking to improve circulation. Features: Uses suction cups to promote detoxification, relieve muscle tension, and reduce inflammation.


4. Gua Sha – Quick Relief for Fatigue and Pain

Best for: People who often feel fatigued, experience shoulder and back pain, or have poor circulation. Features: Uses scraping techniques to promote lymphatic detoxification and relieve tightness.


5. Pain Relief Massage – Targeted Treatment for Pain Issues

Best for: Those experiencing pain in specific areas, such as the neck, back, or joints. Features: Combines specialized massage techniques with pain-relief ointments to reduce discomfort and improve mobility.


6. CBD Massage – Soothe Nerves and Reduce Inflammation

Best for: Those with high stress levels, anxiety, or muscle soreness. Features: Uses CBD-infused oils to relax the body and reduce inflammation.


7. Aromatherapy Massage – A Relaxing Experience with Essential Oils

Best for: Those seeking deep relaxation and emotional relief. Features: Uses essential oils with various effects, such as lavender for sleep aid and citrus for energy boost.


8. Shiatsu Massage – Traditional Japanese Acupressure Therapy

Best for: Those looking to balance their body’s energy and relieve stress, especially seniors. Features: Uses acupressure techniques to promote energy flow and improve overall well-being. Unlike deep tissue massage, Shiatsu relies on gentle pressure to stimulate acupoints, enhance blood circulation, and relieve joint stiffness and muscle tightness. This makes it a safe and effective option for seniors, helping improve flexibility while reducing pain and fatigue.


Choose the Right Massage Type for You:

  • If you are new to massage, Swedish massage is a great starting point.

  • If you sit for long periods or have deep muscle tension, deep tissue massage is more effective.

  • If you are interested in traditional Chinese therapies, cupping or Gua Sha may be ideal.

  • If you have pain in specific areas, pain relief massage or CBD massage is recommended.

  • If you are looking for full-body relaxation and emotional healing, aromatherapy massage or Shiatsu massage is suitable.

  • If you are a senior or have joint stiffness, Shiatsu massage is a gentle and effective choice.
