There are several specialized massage modalities that address tension resulting from different things - old injuries, sports injuries or overuse, structural issues, etc. But you really don't need to learn all the terminology in order to get a good massage. Find a well trained, well qualified massage therapist who can use a combination of techniques. Talk with him or her about your needs, and let them customize a massage for you.

Deep tissue, Neuromuscular and Sports massage therapy all help in releasing knots but vary in intensity. If you have knots because of sports related injury then you should go for sports massage. If you have tight muscles you can opt for deep tissue, the therapist works on underlying tissues by applying pressure and focused strokes to release chronic tension and knots. Neuromuscular therapy can be used along with other types of massage techniques to promote relaxation and pain relief.

If you haven't had a massage before, ask for swedish massage. Because you aren't used to the feel of massage, you may be uncomfortable with the stronger pressure of trigger point therapy and deep pressure.
