Deep Tissue Massage - There are many systems and traditions of massage that involve pressing and rubbing muscles directly through the skin. Oil is used as a lubricant and can include aromatic or "essential" oils for their theraputic benefits. "Oil" massage is the most generally known type of massage, so many clients feel comfortable with this type of therapy because it is familiar.
Massage can be applied lightly or deeply depending on the client's needs. For example if the client wants only to be relaxed and papmered the massage will be light. Also if a new injury is causing a lot of pain then light massage will be all that is required initially. However, for healthy muscles that are used often, such as sports people, the massage can go deeper into the muscle to provide a more intense therapy.

Pregnancy Massage - Massage during preganacy is a very delicate issue. Many people say that it should be avoided, but this is not totally true. Special skills are required dealing with a pregnant woman, but massage is still possible and extremely beneficial.

First, the most important thing is that you should be comfortable. It is not possible to lie on your stomach, and often, especially in the later stages, lying on your back is also difficult. Therefore all Thai Yoga Massage techniques for pregnant women are done lying on your side.

Second, the pressure used should be minimal, not just on areas near the abdomen, but everywhere. This is because the pressing releases toxins from the muscles. In a non pregnant person this is what you want. Releasing the toxins flushes them from the system. However, this process involves the toxins entering the blood stream initially and this has to be avoided in pregnancy.
