There are many massage techniques, and finding the best technique is usually a matter of personal preference. Common massage techniques include:

•Swedish: The most popular and well-known
•Deep Tissue: Goes into the deeper muscles that Swedish massage techniques cannot touch. May be a little intense and painful.
•Reiki: Energy work; the body is actually not touched. This technique requires training and is not something you can learn from a book.
•Acupressure/Acupuncture: An Eastern technique that involves stimulating acupuncture points to bring about change.
•Rolfing: Follows the philosophy that poor posture can bring about physical pain. Rolfing corrects the poor posture by working with the connective tissue surrounding muscles.
•Sports Massage: Sports massage is similar to Swedish and deep tissue massage techniques, only the emphasis is on preventing injury, promoting healing, relaxation and enhancing energy reserves.
•Craniosacral: Craniosacral involves using an extremely limited amounted of pressure on the skull and spinal column to reduce stress and correct any injuries.

If you get massages from a massage professional or you simply want to learn how to massage a loved one, you may be wondering where to learn the best massage techniques.
