How Many Modalities of Massage are There? An Evolutionary Process

Posted by Burke Williams on Jul 28, 2024

The concept of using massage techniques to provide relaxation, relieve stress, pain and all of the other benefits has been around for ages and in recent times it’s exciting to see new types of massage therapy emerge which we want to cover in this blog post.

Looking at massage modalities in particular, this ties into common questions we get around massage techniques from both longtime guests/members of Burke Williams, as well as people visiting our luxury day spas for the first time – and that’s why we continue to push the envelope by offering the best experiences. 
 
Some of the most common questions we are seeing now from both a guest and hiring perspective are around the various types of massages along with the benefits of each, and those questions are key. Essentially, what’s best for me now and why?  
 
Someone looking to visit our spas may want tranquility and relaxation though others like athletes are seeking deep tissue and sports massages, though what should they choose? And that is where our team will help you find the massage modality that’s best for you. 
 
Based on our experience over the past 40 years as being a leader in the day spa industry, along with trends we’re seeing, the following are the top 5 massage modalities/techniques now: Deep Tissue, Lymphatic Drainage, Prenatal, Sports, Swedish.
