I have heard of Swedish, deep tissue, Shiatsu?, and some others.  I just want to have a relaxing experience where after it's done I feel more loose and refreshed.

Swedish massage is one of the more relaxing types.  Shiatsu is more Asian and it has to do with certain points or tsubos of the body.  Deep tissue is only working further into the tissue and I would more than likely recommend this to only experienced people in massage or athletes because it releases more of the body's toxins.  Thirty minutes is more than enough time to get a massage, however, an hour is the time that is most requested.\nBy the way, licensed massage therapists are NOT allowed to "suck you off", and in fact, that is why we are no longer called "Masseuses or Masseurs" and we have an established licensing and certification program.  It is 500 hours in an approved massage school in Arkansas, with most of those hours dedicated to learning anatomy, physiology, and technique.

Both previous answers are good ( ? ) for stress related nerves ( try catnip tea also for stressed nerves  ).  But, you mentioned muscles.  A heat wrap on the neck is always nice.  Try Tiger Balm red.  You will need the Fire Department for the heat it delivers, but, no muscle pain in 45 minutes.

Stretch, breathe, and meditate... better yet YOGA!!! Nothing better than Yoga and some herbal tea to make you feel better, not to mention all that stretching will help stretch out your muscle spasms.

Hello again Lu...\n\nMeditation is okay, but what you really need to learn, is post-meditation & pre-meditation techniques...\n\nWhat I mean is, you need to find ways to relax all the time, not just for an hour a day!

Eat a lot of green to dark green vegetables, and do light tai chi and yoga... light meaning, stay seated and hold your stomach in as tightly as you can then work those muscles without holding your breath. lift your legs slowly while sitting as many times as you can without straining them it may be once or twice but movement will eventually make you feel a little better...see your doctor also

I personally practice vinyasa, which is based in hatha, but focuses on the flow from one asana into another.  There is also a lot of pranayama (breath work), and the asanas chosen are often designed to create heat in the body.  It can be pretty sweaty stuff.\n\nI also like Anusara yoga.  It's sort of a new style, but the one or two classes I've attended, it was quite beautiful - they talk a lot about the inner goodness of humans.

Have you ever tried massage therapy? I know you might feel exhausted all the time, and at times you might not feel like doing a thing, but some light exercise might help keep you going, something that wont make you feel worse. Massage therapy is recommended to relax the patient, decrease muscle tone (spasm), prevent joint stiffness, help you with range of motion. Is good just to go for 1/2 hr treatment at least twice a week, you don't want to get more tired that you need to.\nYou might want to find maybe a school of massage therapy around you and up in the clinic of the school the prices are very inexpensive, compare to the spa outside.\nHope it works and hope you feel better\nGood health :)

I go for the all over effect for the full accomplishment of relaxing. A whole body massage. You can't beat that.  Try it sometime.

Kate massages usually from Kirribilli.  You can contact her thru her website yogasolutions.com.au or 1300 787 234.\nShe has magic hands and can fix muscle fatigue.

I suggest you to have a relaxing Indian massage (that is called ayurvedic) and, after that, a massage on your feet. It is Chinese and it is called "reflexology".\nAfter that drink some green tea, listening to a very soft music.\nAnother thing that is great is to watch a very funny movie and laugh. Laughing is one of the best thing you can do to relax.\nGood massage!

i say that the best stress relief is exercise. i gets your mind off things and your doing something good for your body.something as simple as walking up and down the stairs for 5 min. is good enough. if you want to focus your brain on something you can listen to music. after you do this you feel better and more relaxed. yoga also works good too.

A massage.  I too sleep on my stomach and carry a lot of tension in my shoulders.  It is why I am up late tonight, woke up with a neck ache.  What I do if a good massage is not available is head down to the mall and sit in one of the chairs that give you a massage.  They are to die for girl.  :)
