Oil massage therapists use kneading, long strokes, deep circular movements around pressure points and passive joint movements.

These techniques are meant to stimulate nerve endings and increase blood flow and lymph drainage, thereby relaxing you. The kneading and pressure point movements that ease and soothe the body will definitely be beneficial.

The massage can be focused on any part of the body that a person requires. Because it is gentler than a deep-tissue massage, one does not need to be as worried about causing further damage to the injured part during the massage. Using light pressure, a therapist can provide relief to the injured part without causing pain in the process.

As a relaxing massage, it helps in reducing sleep disturbance and insomnia, amongst other benefits.
