The three most common types of massage therapy are Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Trigger Point Therapy.
 
• Swedish Massage: Also known as relaxation massage, this style of massage is designed to reduce stress and promote relaxation. It uses slower strokes and a combination of kneading, friction, tapping, and gliding techniques, along with light to medium pressure to relax the body.
 
• Deep Tissue Massage: This type of massage targets deeper layers of muscle tissue. It uses stronger pressure in specific areas to release chronic tension or knots in muscles as well as improve posture and flexibility.
 
• Trigger Point Therapy: This type of massage focuses on specific points in the body that are known to be areas of tension and pain. Pressure is placed on these points for a short period of time to release the tightness in the muscles and allow them to relax.

The frequency of massage therapy varies depending on individual needs and preferences. Generally, it is recommended to receive a massage every four to six weeks in order to help maintain muscle health and flexibility, reduce tension, and promote relaxation.
 
Regular massages are beneficial in many ways.
