Some different techniques used include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point release. Swedish massage is commonly used to relax the muscles in the body. It is done with lotions and oils to reduce friction. The massage involves light stroking in one direction with pressure to expedite blood flow, flush lactic acid, uric acid, and other waste products from the muscles. This will stretch out the ligaments and tendons, stimulate and relax nerves, and alleviate body stress.

Deep tissue massage is used to release strain that can be caused by chronic muscle tension. This involves slower, less pressurized strokes to release tension in the tissues. Myofascial release, or soft tissue mobilization, is used to treat fascia tension. Fascia is a fibrous tissue sheet that supports the muscles and separates them into groups and layers. Sometimes the fascia and muscles may shorten restricting blood flow hence this technique allows to relax the muscle and break up any fascial adhesions.

The trigger point release is used to release tiny nodules that form in muscles (trigger points) that cause pain. Myofascial pain can sometimes be caused by trigger points. The massage involves direct pressure on the trigger points for a short period to cause it to release. This technique can help relieve muscle spasms, release trigger points, and overall improve circulation in the body.
