Orthopedic massage therapists use specific assessment techniques to determine the type of pain a client is suffering from, and if that pain has caused some type of disability. Orthopedic massage therapists use certain protocols to massage patients, and concentrate primarily on joint mobilization once the disability or pain is diagnosed. Most orthopedic massage therapists will work within the pain limits of the patient to alleviate the pain trigger points through their treatments. The end result will be that the patient has an increased range of motion after massage treatments and that they have regained use of their joints.

Other modalities of massage therapy include Thai massage which has been called the Lazy Version of Yoga. The massage therapist will concentrate treatments primarily to loosen joints. The art of Thai massage uses techniques such as rocking back and forth, stretching and other extension movements to send energy to the affected parts of the body. Most ypes of massage therapy are usually performed on the floor and the person receiving the Thai massage treatments will usually be laid on a mat during the treatments.
