Tower Physiotherapy: Types of Massage
With so many types of massage to choose from, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. This is why we’ve provided a brief explanation below of the types of massage offered at Tower Physiotherapy.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage involves the application of deep pressure strokes to reach the deep muscle and fascial tissues.
Graston Massage
Graston massage involves gentle scraping of the skin with the use of a special instrument.
Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on injury rehabilitation and prevention. It’s ideal for athletic individuals who want to improve their performance or recover from a sports injury fast.
Trigger Point Therapy
Also called myofascial release, trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to a specific point on the body. The goal is to relieve tension, dysfunction, and pain.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage involves gentle and smooth strokes, with the sole goal of helping you relax. It also helps release muscular tension and improve circulation.
Prenatal Massage
This type of massage focuses on the needs and changes that women undergo during pregnancy. A prenatal massage can help a soon-to-be mother improve joint and muscle function, decrease pain, improve circulation, and increase energy.
Myofascial Cupping
This technique uses suction and negative pressure to massage the skin and tissues in a specific area using a specialized plastic or glass cup. Myofascial cupping promotes healing and is particularly beneficial for active individuals or athletes.

Healthy muscles are a critical component of optimal health. It is amazing how effective healthy muscles are at moving and supporting us through our days. It is also equally impressive how unhealthy muscles can severely impair proper biomechanics, cause pain and even create psychological distress.
