2. Differences Between Relaxing Massages and Therapeutic Massages Before delving into the types of relaxing massages, we want you to know what they are and to be able to establish a clear difference between what they provide and the benefits of therapeutic massages. Relaxing massages aim to improve the person's well-being , reduce tension and increase endorphin levels. On the other hand, therapeutic massages are treatments aimed at eliminating a patient's pain, therefore, although they will make you feel better later, they are not pleasant and can sometimes be annoying since pressure is exerted to treat the injury. If you are going to give yourself a relaxing massage, you will notice that the way of doing it is soft and slow , since it is intended to give you pleasure. In the case of therapeutic massages, the movements are more energetic and more pressure is exerted, since their purpose is to move muscle fibres so that they return to their initial position. In this sense, if you have an injury it will not do you any good to give yourself a relaxing massage, it will not be bad, but it will not cure it. In the same way, if what you want is to relax, going to the physiotherapist is a mistake since the massage, more than pleasant, will be painful. In summary, each type of massage has its purpose , its own techniques and are different professionals who exercise it.
