Massage Parlors | Different Types of Asian Massage Therapy

Contrary to popular belief, Asian massage refers to a genre of massage, not a particular type.  When visiting an Asian massage parlor, you should inquire about all the different massage types they offer such as Thai massage, Chinese acupressure, Japanese shiatsu, and more.

I found this great article that talks about the different types of massage techniques in further detail and I’ve pasted the article below for your convenience.  If you would like to checkout the original article, click here.

There are several forms of ancient Asian massage still being practiced in the world today. Asian massage techniques are ancient healing rituals developed over the centuries in India and the Far East. Thai massage, shiatsu and asian massage are becoming more and more popular in the west as more people become interested in pilates, yoga and other more holistic forms of exercise and relaxation.

Thai massage actually started in India. It is a form of massage using guided stretching and Meridian pressure point therapy in combination with an ancient breathing method called “Pranayama.” This technique uses breathing techniques to relax and cleanse the body while strengthening the nervous system. Sessions usually end with a ritualized final relaxation that most customers find intensely restful.

Chinese acupressure or “tui na” was developed over 5000 years ago. By applying pressure to the body at certain key points, the acupressure therapist helps the body to activate its own self-healing abilities. Acupressure has been used for centuries to treat back pain, headaches and migraines, stress and anxiety. It is deeply relaxing and can have the added benefit of assisting the patient with weight management.

Japanese Shiatsu is another type of massage developed in the Far East. It concentrates on energy rebalance and physical well-being using the thumbs, palms and fingers to apply pressure to certain areas of the body. Benefits of this type of massage include rebalancing of the bone system, enhanced circulatory function, maintaining balance of the nervous system and greater skin and muscle flexibility.

Indonesian Javanese massage is a system of massage that uses all parts of the hand, including the knuckles, to knead and massage the muscles. Usually a massage oil is used to facilitate the therapy. This massage works on the muscles and nerves to relieve tension, back pain and aid in the healing of fractures. Of all of the Asian massages, this is the most robust, and the massage is often painful, although greatly beneficial in the long run.

Whatever your preferences, there are many ancient Asian massage treatments to choose from. Explore your massage options by adding one of these interesting and beneficial massages to your health regimen.

Here are some valuable information on how Asian massage parlors operate and how you can get the best service, selection, and price.

Most massage parlors get busy after midnight, especially on weekends, which means you will get the worst service at these times and pay the highest prices.  With more demand at this time, the massage parlors can get away with spending less time with you and charging you extra.

This also means the hottest and most demand girls are sleeping during the day so they can make the most money during the profitable late night hours.

So if you visit a massage parlor during the day, you’ll most likely get the girls in lesser demand, but get better service and a better value.  At night, you’ll be able to get the girls you really want to pay a visit, but might have to wait, get worse service, and pay a premium.

So what does this all mean?  The best time to go for service and/or price is during the slow daytime hours.  If you want to get serviced by the hotter girls, try to go to the Asian massage parlors between 10pm – 12am to make sure the pretty girls are on the clock and you’ll be able to beat the rush and get some decent service.  I hope this helps on your next visit!
