Massage Therapy

This is one technique that no one had to talk me into trying. Really how many of us would kill to get a prescription for a massage twice a week!

Definition:
- Massage: This is the manipulation of the soft-tissues of the body including the muscles, skin, tendons, and indirect manipulation of the circulatory or lymphatic system. It helps to ease stress and muscular tension, relieves pain from injuries, and speeds healing from certain acute and chronic conditions.

My Experience: Because of the excruciating pain that I was in I started getting Massages; some were deep tissue massages, others were more of a healing technique. I always felt better afterwards and I really don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love to get a good massage.

When you see a massage therapist one of the first things that usually happens, if the therapist is any good, is that he/she asks a list of questions pertaining to your health and the second thing is if there are any specific areas that you feel need immediate attention.

The better and more experienced therapists often shared any findings or concerns during the massage and helped me understand what he/she was doing to try to relieve the symptom. Often a therapist would leave me with instructions for additional exercises or stretches that would help a particular issue. A good therapist will remind you to drink lots of water throughout the day to help remove some of the toxins released during the therapy. They will also understand the importance of energy work and will have a thorough understanding of the muscular and skeletal structures of the body

Try to get recommendations from friends and family before choosing a massage therapist. It is expensive and there is nothing worse than spending $85.00 for someone to annoy you. The massage therapist that I use now, when I can afford her, is probably one of the best I have ever been to and would love to be able to see her every week.

Would I do it Again: Everyday if I had the money!

Who wouldn't love a good massage?
