There are well over 150 types of massage therapy. Various styles of massage have developed from a number of sources.
The massage subject is generally unclothed, and the body may be draped with towels or sheets. This can keep the client warm. In some jurisdictions it is required that certain areas such as the genitals on both genders and the breast/nipple area on women be draped at all times.
In many forms of massage, the treatment may start with the client face up or down for the first part of the session: the client then rolls over for the second half of the session. Relaxation is necessary for benefits to be achieved.
The techniques involve the client being treated lying down in a massage chair, on a massage table or on a mattress on the floor. Except for modalities such as Thai Massage or Barefoot Deep Tissue.
