Styles of Massage
from Hands and Hammer · host Solomon Spigel
In this episode I discuss a lot of different kinds of Massage. This is a brief overview of different styles and what the names really mean. Spoiler: a lot of names don't tell you as much as you might think. Here’s the list of all the styles I talk about: Swedish, deep tissue, relaxation, sports massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, thai massage, acupressure, shiatsu, tui-na, anma, reflexology, craniosacral, lymph drainage, lomi lomi, hot stone, aromatherapy, Rolfing, and structural integration And here are a few links to things I mentioned in the episode: http://massagenerd.com/ https://www.thethinkingpractitioner.com/ https://anchor.fm/concast Edit: I got the history of Anma massage confused, it came after Tuina, it's actually Japanese, and is the precursor to shiatsu. Sorry for that everyone!
