Melt Away Your Stressful Day But Also Increase Well Being By Way Of A Relaxing Massage Therapist

Massage therapists can specialize in many different types of techniques - called modalities

. Some message therapists choose to use exaggerated longer strokes, while others use quick, thumping strokes with a cupped or closed hand.

How long does it take to feel the benefits from a massage? Depending on your physical condition and your goals for overall health improvement, your massage therapist can perform your massage in anywhere from 5 or 10 minutes up to a full 2 hours. There are also various forms of massage therapy targeted for specific client types, such as:

Prenatal massage for pregnant women;

Infant massage for new mothers;

Sports massage - from weekend warriors to professional athletes

Geriatric massage - for people approaching their twilight years.

When choosing a massage therapist, take as much care as when choosing your primary care physician. Don't be shy about asking questions; it's your body and you have a right to know how it is being treated. Massage therapy delivered at the hands of an untrained massage therapist can have serious consequences.

So how does massage therapy work? Most professional massage therapists work by appointment only. Before beginning your session; your massage therapist should have a discussion with you to review your overall medical and health history and discuss what your goals for improvement include. By

knowing this, you and your massage therapist can decide together which techniques are right for you.

As discussed before, there are many techniques - or modalities - used in massage therapy. If after the initial discussion with your massage therapist it is determined that you need a type of therapy other than what he or she is trained in, they may refer you to another specialist. If during your massage therapy session, you experience any type of discomfort, inform your massage therapist immediately.

For many of the techniques available, massage therapists use lotions, oils or creams to aid in the procedure. You may be asked to remove some or all of your clothing - depending on the method being used - and cover yourself with a sheet or blanket; the massage therapist should only reveal the part of your body being massaged at any given time.

Massage therapists typically like to provide a very soothing and relaxing setting to make their clients feel more at ease. This normally includes the burning of candles or incense, soothing music and dim lighting. This especially helps to make first-timers comfortable. Depending on your schedule and location, your massage therapist may be able to make arrangements to administer your massage right in the comfort of your own home.
