Massage Therapy Styles

Discover the Right Technique for Your Body, Mood & Needs

Massage isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. From gentle relaxation to deep muscle work, spiritual connection to targeted therapy, every massage style offers its own unique set of techniques, traditions, and benefits. Whether you’re looking to ease stress, relieve pain, support healing, or explore more intimate or energetic practices, understanding the differences between massage styles can help you choose the approach that best suits your body and goals.

This page brings together a curated collection of expert-written guides on a wide range of massage modalities. You’ll find traditional styles like Swedish, Thai, Shiatsu, and Indian Head Massage, alongside modern techniques such as vibration massage, massage cupping, and four-hand massage. We also cover deeply therapeutic methods like deep tissue and remedial massage, as well as holistic and energy-based practices such as chakra massage and Abhyanga from Ayurvedic healing.

Looking for something more intimate or sensual? You’ll also find thoughtful, respectful guides to tantric massage, yoni and lingam massage, and couples massage—all designed to help you explore massage as a form of connection and emotional wellness, not just physical relief.

Each guide breaks down:

  • What the massage style is and where it comes from
  • The techniques used and what to expect during a session
  • The main benefits and ideal use cases
  • Who it’s best suited for—and when to try a different approach

Whether you’re booking a professional massage or learning techniques to try at home, this library will help you make informed, confident choices. Explore the styles below to find the one that aligns with your needs—whether it’s rest and recovery, energy balancing, emotional intimacy, or full-body wellness.
