Massage is the practice of rubbing and kneading the body using the hands. During a massage, a trained massage therapist will apply gentle or strong pressure to the muscles and joints of the body to ease pain and tension.

Read on to learn about the different types of massage and which type might be right for you.

Swedish massage
Swedish massage is a gentle full-body massage that’s great for people who:

are new to massage
want to release tension
desire gentle touch
It can help release muscle knots, and it’s also a good choice for when you want to fully relax during a massage.

For this massage, you’ll remove your clothes, though you may choose to keep your underwear on. You’ll be covered with a sheet while lying on the massage table. The massage therapist will move the sheet to uncover areas that they are actively working on.

The massage therapist will use a combination of:

kneading
long, flowing strokes in the direction of the heart
deep circular motions
vibration and tapping
passive joint movement techniques
Usually, a Swedish massage will last 60 to 90 minutes.

It's beneficial to drink water after your massage because as your massage therapist manipulates your muscles, substances are released. Drinking water before your massage helps the body flush out any accumulated materials that were released during the massage.
Below 👇🏾👇🏾you will find more reasons why drinking water before and after a massage can be really beneficial.
