Popular Types of Massage Therapy

There are over 80 types of massage therapy available today. Of the most commonly practiced in the massage industry, the most popular bodywork therapies such as massage modalities include Swedish, deep tissue massage, reflexology, acupressure, sports massage and chair massage, among others.

Acupressure massage therapy, for example, is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories and not only used in people, but as a form of canine and equine massage as well. Using the meridian therapy as a guide to depress the key points on the body to relieve tension and blockages, and restore the energy flow (Chi) from the body, this type of massage therapy is believed to restore balance and enhance the natural healing abilities.

Another form of therapy massage, reflexology is a type of massage that is also based on oriental medicine. Specific areas (areas with reflection) of the foot only correlate with certain organs and organ systems in the body. It is believed that by applying pressure techniques to these reflex zones, these correspond to organ systems can be encouraged to healing. While this particular massage therapy is most commonly used on the feet, reflexology is also given to the hands, face and body.

For the athlete, massage therapy as sports massage can be useful as a preventive therapy regimen and health maintenance addition to using Swedish massage techniques, sports massage incorporates a variety of therapies including contact other compression, fiber Cruz therapy, hydrotherapy, and pressure point methods, among others. As therapy acupressure, sports massage is also given to animals.

Deep tissue massage therapy is a bodywork therapy is taught foundational in almost all massage and healing arts schools today. As its name implies, this is a deep muscle therapy that works the connective tissues and muscles to alleviate chronic pain and tension.

Massage therapy Chair, often referred to as seated massage, is gaining leeway in airports, corporate functions, and in malls. This particular the body is administered while the client is sitting in a chair upright.

Nice sticks.

by The Sleezestak from Orange County,CA on 2010-07-06
Nice sticks because the handles stay in your hand firmly and don’t slip off (unlike wooden), quality mono-construction (unlike others using more than 2-3 parts= breakability), price, and they get the job done!

Reviews

My neck loved it… until it broke (massager broke, not neck)

by Brad Smith from Upstate, SC United States on 2010-06-25
This is a terrific product. The adjustable ball/triggers feel like they are a slightly soft outer shell wrapped around a firmer inner shell. Perfectly designed.

This product is a giant seafood-shell cracker and you are a crab. It pinches and compresses muscles very nicely. This is terrific for doing the back of the neck which is where I used it… until mine broke :-(

The manufacturer warns about using too much pressure. The back of my neck is somewhat tender compared to a large leg muscle. I did not think I was using too much pressure but obviously did so and it broke.

The rod portion of the mechanism is made of hard plastic. It appears I may be able to repair it by inserting a steel rod inside.

If I cannot fix it I will likely repurchase another one. That gives you an idea how much I like this. My four stars is not five only because it broke. My neck misses it.


Simple and effective

by K. Scott from on 2010-03-22
It’s worth the money. It’s hard to do anything similar with your own thumbs or hands. The center setting for the balls works well on my neck. Really does help release some of the tension in the muscles. And you have control over the intensity of pressure. The narrow setting for the balls works well squeezing the traps at the top of your shoulders. I had to use the string in order to do that. Worked fine. Glad I bought this contraption. It’s easy to put together and is effective on the areas I care about the most.


Great Product/Great Customer Service…

by Bernardo Carpio from Sacramento, CA on 2009-08-16
I work as a table game dealer in a casino and my arms and shoulders hurt almost every day, not to mention my thighs and legs for standing almost the whole 8 hours at work. I have a Hitachi wand massager and the shiatsu neck and foot massagers that I use every now and then but they seem not to be enough. I am so happy that I came across this item at Amazon because it does a lot of relief to my muscles which I cannot find on my other massagers — enough pressure force to relieve pain. The product does what the description says and more depending on your creativity– arms, knuckles, shoulders, thighs, legs and back. And as a friendly reminder, all the parts should be screwed as tightly as possible and inspected before every use because mine accidentally snapped after using it every day for over a week. I emailed bodyback immediately, got a response the following day and the replacement arrived in due time. Amazing product/amazing customer service.


AccuMassage Self Massage Tool

by Susan B. from Chicago, IL USA on 2009-07-13
I needed more instructions on how to use the tool. However, once I learned to use it, it feels great. You do have to play around with it to get to the spots you need. I find I am getting better the longer I use it. It is certainly a unique tool.


Good but requires work

by travel from on 2009-05-23
This product is nice, once you get accustomed to using it. Its a little complicated and removing the balls and switching them for every spot you want to work on is more than a person in pain wants to do. I like the tapping that the ball does on sore areas with one of the handles removed. I prefer the body cane instead.

Meh

by suteiquake from Chicago, IL on 2010-09-05
This really didn’t DO anything. At all. I have damage from an old severe whiplash injury and since I spend hours on the computer, I was hoping it would help at least with upper back pain. It kinda hurt although I tried to stick with it to see if it would get better, but really, it did nothing. Several friends tried it too and all agreed it was lame & you’re better off with something less passive like massage, chiropractic, yoga, tens units, and/or exercise balls. Bottom line is you gotta get things moving and the blood flowing as much as possible for any real relief. If laying around on a piece of plastic really helped I would have invested!!!!


Interesting tool to relax muscles

by elle.victor from Mt. Baldy, CA USA on 2010-08-24
The Spine-Worx is a well-built tool that is based on an interesting concept. I can’t say definitively how much it has done for me. I read other reviews and heard about all the popping back into joints, the immense relief, the life-changing effects. I haven’t had those – maybe because my back wasn’t so out of alignment to begin with. However, I started from doing nothing and since using the device, I do know it’s doing something. My lower back tension has eased and it no longer hurts to sit in my chair at work. My theory is this device works better if you have more weight to exert pressure against it. I am very small, so the effects I get when I lie on the device are just a pleasant (sometimes uncomfortable) sensation of my lower back muscles doing something. I’ve never been to a chiropractor so I can’t compare it to that. One thing you should keep in mind: I also have a lot of shoulder and neck tension. When I use the Spine-Worx device, it feels almost like my lower back tension gets pushed into my upper back, like a tube of toothpaste. Who knows if that’s scientific, but after I use this I have to spend some time massaging my upper back too so it doesn’t stay so tense. I’ve started to rest my head on the flared end and use it to relax my shoulders as well. Overall, this is a good product and I will keep using the device because I can tell it’s making a difference.


This thing really works

by Stymied from on 2010-08-16
I have debilitating problems with my L3-L4-L5-S1 disks with severe pain down my left hip and leg that sometimes requires me to use a wheelchair. Surgeries corrected physical problems but didn’t stop the pain. I was skeptical this would work but for the low cost I decided to give it a try. The first time I used it 60%-70% of the pain was gone within a few minutes and the relief lasted for several hours. The more I use it the longer the relief lasts. I now only have to use it 2 or 3 times a day to keep the pain at manageable levels and have not had to use the wheelchair at all. See the other reviews for more details about positioning yourself on the device but I wanted to report that for my medical condition it really does work and it fits in my suitcase so I can carry it with me when I have to travel.


WOW first good nights sleep in months

by roadglide103 from on 2010-08-14
I spent a decade in the army as a paratrooper. A few too many hard landings and years of humping a heavy ruck sack have left me with a lot of aches, pains and some serious spinal issues. On top of that a bike wreck back in 2006 didn’t help the situation.

Currently I’ve been seeing a VA quack, a good chiropractor, and undergoing physical therapy 3 times a week over the last month and a half. My back had gotten to the point that I could hardly walk which spurred this recent heavy medical activity.

My chiropractor visits are doing great, but after a day or so I begin hurting again, by the end of the weekend I’m really bad off. Granted, each week has been better than the one before, but I was looking for something to help in between visits that would help supplement my treatments. I, on a recommendation of a friend, bought the spine-worx device.

I received it yesterday, not 3 hours after I got home from the chiropractor. I was just on my way back out the door when it came, but decided to open it up and check it out real quick. I followed the directions (very important)and gave it a quick test run.

Yes it is uncomfortable to lay on, but upon getting up I immediately felt much better than I had ten minutes before. This is even after just coming from an adjustment.

I used it right before turning in last night and can say I just had the best nights sleep I’ve had in several months. Plopped on it again first thing this morning. As I write this review, my pain level has been cut by at least two thirds of what it generally is at this point in the day.

I can’t say how it would work for someone not getting professional help in conjunction with the spine-worx, but I can’t believe what an immediate difference it made for me. I thought I’d wait a couple of weeks before making a review, but it has made such an impact for me in the first 24 hours, I thought I’d get out my first impressions right away.

So my initial impression is, this may have been the best 30 dollars I’ve ever spent. I’ll update as initially planned in a week or two to report my longer term experiences.


I can’t walk.

Description

Start feeling better now. “After a week with the goLITE, my wife happily announced that her ’summer husband’ had returned.” “I feel great: more energy, more positive and optimistic, more like the person I am in the summer.” We couldn’t have said it better. These are real quotes from real people who improved their moods and beat the winter blues using light. And you can too. Light is nature’s stimulant. The upbeat feeling you get on a bright sunny day is no accident-it’s the result of light triggering our bodies to release “active” hormones, and we feel great. Winter can be a challenge for many because the shorter days and longer nights leave us simply “light-deprived”. Without the normal light stimulation, we often feel down, lethargic or sad. Light therapy provides a natural boost that helps you feel better, increases energy and even helps you sleep. Using the right wavelength of light, you can trigger your active hormones naturally, boosting your mood and overcoming those down feelings, whatever the season. Blue light is the key. Researchers have learned that receptors in our eyes convert the blue light from the summer sky into the chemicals our bodies need to be active and energetic. We don’t get this light in the winter, and indoor light doesn’t replace this color, which is why our mood, energy and sleep patterns suffer. Twice as effective. The goLITE is the newest breakthrough in light therapy that provides just the blue light our bodies need (we call it BLUEWAVE technology). Studies have shown that low-intensity blue light (470 nm, like that from the goLITE) is twice as effective at managing our body clocks compared to other sources of light. As little as 15 Minutes per day. Using light therapy fits easily into your normal daily routine. You can do it while eating breakfast, exercising or getting ready in the morning.

For individuals suffering from the seasonal mood disorder known as the “winter blues,” the goLITE BLU Light Therapy Device from Philips offers natural, affordable relief. The goLITE BLU features the cutting-edge BlueWave light therapy technology, offering the most effective, natural treatment for winter blues and eliminating the need for artificial stimulants or drugs. And with its easy-to-use functionality and a lightweight, portable design, the goLITE Blu can go wherever you need it–at home, in the office, or on travels.

Treat Winter Blues Naturally Scientific research has shown that the natural rhythms of our bodies are regulated by light. Our exposure to sunlight in the winter, especially in more northern areas, is significantly reduced. For some individuals, this reduction in sunlight exposure can result in a mood disorder commonly known as the “winter blues,” which can result in reduced energy, low moods, and disrupted sleep patterns. Research has shown that light therapy use, even for as little as 15 minutes a day, can significantly reduce these symptoms by providing your body with the required amount of light exposure otherwise lacking during the darker months of the year. The goLITE BLU effectively mimics the natural patterns and spectrum of sunlight that our bodies need most. And best of all, the goLITE BLU provides a natural and affordable method of treating winter blues without using artificial stimulants or drugs. Cutting-Edge BlueWave Technology With 20 years of experience in light box technology, Philips offers the most cutting-edge and effective technology for treating winter blues with BlueWave technology. With this technology, the goLITE BLU provides blue light, which has been shown to be twice as effective as white light in influencing our natural body clocks. With BlueWave technology, the goLITE BLU is not only more effective than white-light light boxes, but it also offers far less intense light, which reduces the risk of eyestrain or headaches that can be associated with the glare of more intense light boxes. The goLITE BLU also features a wider field of light than other light boxes, which means that you can work, watch TV, read, or eat meals while using the light box, rather than having to sit close and directly in front of it. Easy to Use, Compact, and Portable The goLITE BLU features an easy-to-use touch screen and a digital, backlit clock with a timer so you can set the light box to your preferred wake-up time, allowing you to wake up more naturally and more refreshed. Use the touch screen to adjust the light intensity to your particular needs. At just 5-1/4 x 5-1/2 x 1 inches (WxHxD), the goLITE BLU is compact and unobtrusive, allowing it to fit easily in your bedroom or your office space. It folds down easily, and because it’s powered by a rechargeable battery (included), the goLITE BLU is easy to take wherever you need it. The goLITE BLU is covered by a two-year warranty.

Features

  • Portable, rechargeable blue therapy light with Bluewave.
  • Sleek new compact design
  • New diffusion optics for softer, even light
  • Wider treatment field gives you more flexibility
  • Fully programmable, adjustable intensity

I expected better results

by Djard from on 2010-09-03
The price is very good, the shipping timely; but the product–for me (so far)–has fallen a little short of my expectations for treating delayed sleep phase syndrome. Yet in all fairness to the technology, perhaps I need to use the device for several weeks before gaining appreciable results as I have used it for only nine days. I particularly like the free assessment at Philips’ site that offers an individualized tracing of any disparity between the circadian and hormonal rhythms. A doctor at [...] informed me that he is going to post a treatment protocol for the use of BLU Light phototherapy for sleep phase problems next month.


Aid for SAD Syndrome and Sleeping Problems

by E. Drezek from Laurel, Maryland United States on 2010-09-03
My doctor let me use his BLU light for my sleep problems due to not getting enough sunlight. I purchased it now in preparation for winter. This little light works wonders. If it is raining many days in a row and I feel sleepy, this light gadget perks me right back up.


Beware of Possible Vision Damage

by Laurie Spatz from California, USA on 2010-09-02
I was considering purchasing one of these lights but decided against it after doing some research on blue light and the hazardous effects of blue light on the human retina. Although blue light may boost mood and energy, it can also be toxic to the retina and can promote macular degeneration in people who are at risk for this.

You’d think this light would come with a warning but there are no industry standards to protect us from the blue light hazard as there are to protect us from UV radiation. Many eye doctors recommend wearing blue blocker sunglasses with UV protection but this light exposes us directly to blue light with no eye protection at all just as the full spectrum lamps that duplicate sunlight do. That’s very scary to me.

Before buying this light, please research online “blue light hazard” and “blue light retinal damage” so you can read about the hazards for yourself and make an informed decision. I would love to try out this light but I’m not willing to risk severe vision loss for a temporary mood and energy enhancer.


Amazing little light

by Trevor Waldron from Everett, Wa on 2010-09-01
have been using my goLITE for 2 weeks now and have seen a major improvement in my energy and mood. I was highly skeptical before trying it, and was convinced by the reviews on Amazon to buy. I recommend this light for anyone who is not able to get natural sunlight in the morning regularly. I work in the basement of a building that has no windows… this light saved me!


bought because groggy in the AM

by Florida Shopper from Florida United States on 2010-08-25
This did absolutely nothing to make me more awake in the morning. Tend to have more energy at night thought this would help. Big waste of money. Don’t listen to other reviews if your problem is morning grogginess with more alertness as the day progresses.
