11 massage treatments that take the edge off

Shiatsu

If you like deep tissue, you’ll love Shiatsu.

Therapists use their thumbs—plus elbows, knees, and feet—to deliver intense pressure and to balance your chi (energy), a serious healing bonus.

The Japanese massage is great for stubborn knots and pain, and may include lots of stretches.

That’s why it’s often given on a floor mat, and you’ll likely be asked to wear loose-fitting clothing.
