There are some in the profession who are calling their specific method or technique medical massage. There is no one technique or method that is exclusively needed in this chosen career. In fact there are many different types of massage that can be applied in a medical situation or one in which massage has been deemed to be "medically necessary" by a physician or other health care provider who is licensed to diagnose conditions.

There are many types such as orthopedic, craniosacral, deep tissue, structural integration, myofascial release and many more different types of massage that can be used to help improve various conditions. Some of the things that massage can help with are things like fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains and strains, back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.
