Several types of massage can be beneficial for insomnia:

 

Swedish massage: This type of massage uses long, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements that can help to relax the body and mind, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.

 

Aromatherapy massage: The use of essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, and ylang-ylang in massage can help to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, which can improve sleep.

 

Reflexology: This type of massage focuses on the feet, applying pressure to specific points to promote relaxation and improve circulation, which can help to improve sleep.

 

Shiatsu massage: Shiatsu massage involves the application of pressure to specific points on the body to promote relaxation and balance in the body.

 

It’s important to communicate with your massage therapist to determine the best type of massage for your individual needs and preferences. Regular massages, in combination with other healthy lifestyle practices, can be a helpful tool in promoting better sleep and overall well-being.
