Massage Therapy: The Relaxing Trend This Season

Massage therapy is not just for luxury or relaxation. Many people come to the massage therapy unsure what to expect. Some take massage therapy as a traumatic experience even with the knowledge of the widespread use of therapeutic massage, especially for those who are not sure how to take an active role in getting the most out of the massage therapy.

What are the preparations for Massage Therapy?

• The main reason for the procedure is for you to stay calm; so best to prepare to RELAX. The more relaxed and confident you are before coming in the massage unit, the deeper the relaxation you are to experience. If you are getting treated for an injury, the faster and less pain you will experience while the treatment is ongoing. A warm shower will help you take off the stress or tension in your body and add comfort to both the client and the therapist. It is prohibited for you to wear makeup or excessive perfume before the massage therapy. Another is to set up the mood by picking out a good playlist of your favorite relaxing music such as jazz or ballad to keep you at ease for the whole session. Eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable during the massage therapy because there is a possibility for the therapist to be manipulating the parts of your abdomen to enhance your metabolism; but never come in hungry.

How can you maximize your massage therapy?

• The therapist does not need much help in the procedure so all you have to do is to keep calm and relax. If you find yourself worried about the therapist lifting your heavy arms and legs; then worry no more because the more passive you are during the procedure, the lighter your body becomes. Reward yourself with a little cup of tea or a warm beverage after the massage therapy to keep your muscles relaxed. Never crave for something frozen like shakes or ice cream because it will contract your muscles; plus, a hot tea would help flush out toxins

Massage therapy is almost like a passive form of exercise. Cleansing and detoxifying are the best benefits it could offer. Try promoting a healthy Christmas and a New Year by giving a simple Gift certificate that contains a lot of benefits.
