Glossary of Massage Therapy & Bodywork Techniques |

We created the chart above to help illustrate how Massage Therapy and Bodywork Techniques vary in pressure and focus. The lighter techniques, referred to as Bodywork, focus more on the core of the body. Therefore, they address issues having either a stress-related or a neurological component and are even more relaxing. The heavier massage techniques focus more on specific muscles or muscle groups. Click each technique for a detailed description. You won't really know how beneficial any technique is for your individual situation until you have tried it.
