Benefits of Massage Therapy

I want to talk about the benefits of massage therapy for the people who are interested but are concern about personal boundaries, pressure of the massage, gender issues,and maybe myths from word of mouth.
Stress today is controlling our way of life. Job, time on our hands, family, money,etc you name it, stress is everywhere. I see all of the time with 1st time clients, it's not hard to see. The "elevation" of life can be controlled by some good old Swedish massage techniques!
Here's my list of "qualifications" I feel future clients of massage therapy should know:

1) " Your body is a temple" You are in control in the session! Relaxing massage techniques are different than deep tissue. If the therapist does some out of the ordinary, Respond!

2) " What feels good should not feel bad" Even deep pressure done correctly is noninvasive.

3) " Don't buy the first, try them all out!" Just because your best friend recommends a therapist, doesn't mean it will work for you. The gender of the therapist, the comfort, the knowledge, take these to heart or just work with a group of therapists that fit your needs!

4) " Knowledge is powerful" Specific issues need specific techniques, search out therapists with specific advanced techniques for you.

These are a few considerations to consider when you decide to get that first massage.I hope this is helpful to you!
