If you have serious pain, stiffness or cramps, it is advisable to consult a physician who will most probably refer you to further examinations and, accordingly, some form of physical therapy. However, if the problem is not so serious, massage will also help.

The Swedish Massage is the most widely known and used style of massage therapy. The name “Swedish Massage” is only used in English and Dutch speaking nations — all other countries refer to it as a “classic massage.”

Deep tissue massage uses more pressure than a Swedish massage. It’s a good option if you have chronic muscle problems, such as soreness, injury, or imbalance. It can help relieve tight muscles, chronic muscle pain, and anxiety.
