What is Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic Massage is a form of healing and relaxation that has been around for centuries. Everyone can benefit from a professional massage. Whether massage is on a table or a chair, Swedish, deep tissue or sports, the benefits are always the same.

Among other things, massage is relaxing and therapeutic, calms the nervous system, increases blood supply to tissues and helps prevent injuries. Massage reduces tension, headaches, repetitive stress symptoms, muscle soreness, anxiety, stress, and tissue inflammation. Massage also improves productivity, concentration, blood circulation, health and wellness, energy and alertness, posture, and helps with the removal of metabolic waste

How will a massage feel?

Massage on normal tissue is almost always pleasant. Always tell your therapist if you feel discomfort so that adjustments can be made.

After a massage, most people feel very relaxed. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience an increase in energy that can last for several days.

Sometimes the immediate effect of your massage may seem mild. Watch for further change over the following days; such as pain relief, reduced stress, or mobility increased.

Your first appointment

Your massage therapist will begin by asking some general health questions since there are some conditions that massage is not appropriate. Your therapist, then, will show you to the therapy room, where you will undress and relax onto the massage table covering yourself with a fresh clean sheet.

Your therapist will offer cushions to make you more comfortable on the table. The room will be warm and quiet, often with soft relaxing music.

For a full body massage, most people undress completely though you may choose to wear underwear. You will be warmly draped at all times except for the area being worked on.
