Leg Massage is typically given with long flowing strokes, (as with Swedish massage), however long upward strokes are also common to help improve proper lymph flow.

It starts at the thigh and moves to the calf, usually ending with massage of the foot.

It can be performed as part of a full body massage, as part of a foot massage treatment, for leg cramps/muscle spasms, or to improve proper lymph flow.

What are the names of the massages that the massage therapist do to you?

There are so many different types of massage. The most basic type of massage is a Swedish massage. Swedish massage is a light pressure relaxation massage using wide, flat strokes. This will help with stress, circulation, blood pressure and immune response. Deep Tissue massage works out those pesky knots and tight spots in muscles with deeper pressure. This can sometimes be uncomfortable, but should not be painful and you should make sure your therapist knows if you are in pain. Ashiatsu massage is massage done with the feet and goes a step beyond deep tissue massage. Aromatherapy massage is a Swedish massage that is done with scented oils. Sports massage is done on athletes to keep them in top shape for their sporting events. This is just a very small sample of the most common types of massage. If you are interested in a complete list, Massagetherapy.com has an excellent page for you to read over that has descriptions. http://www.massagetherapy.com/glossary/
