Swedish massage can be combined with joint manipulation and stretching to encourage flexibility and healing. Explained: This is the soothing "fluff & buff" style that will relax you to sleep.

Trigger Point massage is the static and active application of pressure to "trigger points" or areas where waste products have collected around a nerve receptor to create nodules or fibrous bands of tension. Pressure helps dissolve the nodule, flushing toxins and releasing endorphins. The trigger point technique requires active client participation and is an effective treatment for many kinds of chronic pain and discomfort. Explained: It seems to sometimes take a varying level of temporary discomfort while using this technique in order to get long term results, but it does work. There's a bit of digging in and movement required for this technique depending upon your condition and your pain tolerance.

Neuromuscular Therapy is pressure applied to specific muscles and muscle attachments, including deep and superficial muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue to restore balance to the central nervous system and relieve the spasms and chronic pain often caused by injury and trauma. Explained: This can be a more intensive method than the above two methods. Most therapists charge more for this because it takes a few thousand dollars and some serious time input to learn how to do it. I take what I learned and mix this technique in whenever I can. Some folks find it to be "a bit much", but it's effective.
