Of the more than 80 types of therapeutic massage, which differ from each other by the technique and movements used, probably the best known and used are orthopedic massage and neuromuscular therapy, used especially to treat pain or circulatory problems.
Massage has been practiced for thousands of years and its benefits include improved motor function and pain relief. It is important to know, however, that massage, used as a way to relax and heal, should only be practiced by specialized therapists. Relaxation massage also plays an important role in contemporary culture, because it improves posture, relieves migraines, improves sleep and skin appearance, helps recovery and stimulates memory, concentration and attention.
