day 7: types of body massages

Ever felt stressed out, stiff muscles? just so much tiered that u need a massage???
well I guess we have all been there...
and in reality what happen?? either we dont have anyone who massages..
or probably living alone.

Whatever the case is ...I love massages...even giving them...
yes I have tried that n I know few techniques :)
so what I am going to do today...
well there is offcourse a wish in my bucketlist to recieve a proper spa [strangely I never tried
that...but I got a place near by my house...mi8 b on the weekend].
but today...

"learn about different types of body massages"

I know few things here and there...
I know a lot about reflexology, indian massages, essential oil massages[aromatherapy], and
I know a few self massage techniques too...

basically there are 9-10 famous type we all know [swedish, thai, stone, accupressure, ayurvedic,reflexology]
but lets dig little deeper.
[I might not mention very detail things here..but summary pointers.]


So basically around 22 types roughly[according to wikipedia ,not writing details here]

• 3 Types and methods
  • 3.1 Active release technique
  • 3.2 Acupressure
  • 3.3 Aquatic bodywork
  • 3.4 Ashiatsu
  • 3.5 Ayurvedic massage
  • 3.6 Burmese Massage
  • 3.7 Biodynamic massage
  • 3.8 Craniosacral therapy
  • 3.9 Foot massage
  • 3.10 Lomilomi and indigenous massage of Oceania
  • 3.11 Lymphatic drainage
  • 3.12 Medical massage
  • 3.13 Myofascial release
  • 3.14 Reflexology
  • 3.15 Shiatsu
  • 3.16 Structural Integration
  • 3.17 Swedish massage
  • 3.18 Thai massage
  • 3.19 Traditional Chinese massage
  • 3.20 Trigger point therapy
  • 3.21 Tui na
  • 3.22 Watsu

Genreally a misconception of massages as prostitution or some places show such news,should be avoided
n yes a proper research for such place is needed.

My experience:
this learning thing was good ...coz I always find relief after self-massage, so now I know what all to try now.

How I did it?
As mostly it was wikipedia and other websites ,mostly surfin. bascically i knew some of the info beforehand so it did not coast much time.

How much time it took?:
Not more than 1.5 hours [nd that too coz i was lazy to read it] ;)

what's next-
to try one asap.


So I know it's a common many people have 'to get a body massage' in their bucket list..
Truth is... we already had atleast once...90% of us...as a toddler ;) :)

Any suggestions and ideas are welcomed ....leave a comment :)
