Knowing what type of massage to get comes down to three things: your goal, what your body needs, and how much pressure you can handle. Someone who wants to switch off for an hour needs something different from someone whose lower back has been locked up since Tuesday, and both of those differ again from someone training for a half marathon. This guide covers 13 massage types, matches each to specific goals and conditions, and explains what changes when you book in-home instead of at a spa.<\/p>\n

Quick answer: Swedish massage suits relaxation, deep tissue or remedial work suits chronic pain, sports massage suits training recovery, and prenatal massage suits pregnancy-related discomfort. Use the table below for an instant match, or read on for the full breakdown.<\/p>\n
