There are many different types of massage, but few of the common types I am sharing here:

Swedish massage:

This is a type of massage that offers deep healing by using circular movements, kneading, vibrations and tapping.

Sports massage:

This is similar to above mentioned Swedish massage, but it is specially designed for people involved in sports activities and help them in healing their internal injuries.

Deep massage:

This is another type of healing massage in which uses slower, more forceful strokes to penetrate deep in the body tissue or muscle to heal the damaged muscle from within.
