“Massage therapy is systematically and strategically manipulating the soft tissues of the human body to produce a relaxed state, as well as alleviating things like pain, discomfort, anxiety, and fatigue,” Christopher Deery, a licensed massage therapist who is board-certified for therapeutic massage and bodywork, tells SELF.

Massage is a more gentle massage that helps you relax, the Mayo Clinic explains. During this massage, your therapist might try using long strokes, kneading, and deeper circular movements. Massage also involves a little more pressure with slower strokes meant to get to deeper muscle layers and tissue, the Mayo Clinic says. This might be the type of massage you ask for when you have an injury.
