What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that manipulates your skin and the underlying muscle and other tissues. It’s a wonderful way to relax and focus on your body and is part of many people’s ongoing wellness care.

This treatment has a long history and is part of many different cultures and traditions. Today, advancements in the understanding of anatomy and physiology have yielded improvements in massage therapy tools and techniques

Massage therapy might include rubbing, pressing, and manipulating tissues using a range of different pressures and techniques. Some types of massage are intended to deliver general relaxation, while others focus on other enhancements.

What are the benefits of massage therapy?

In the hands of a skilled practitioner, massage therapy can provide numerous benefits. Relaxation is always part of the process and is an important benefit that can help you feel better both during and after your session.

Some of the issues that massage therapy can improve include:

• Stress and tension
• Headaches
• Muscle pain
• Low back pain
• Sports injuries
• Immune function
• Circulation
• Trigger points
• Nerve pain

Be sure to let your practitioner know if you are struggling with any form of pain or any medical conditions. This helps create a customized experience that won’t interfere with other treatments. 

What should I expect during massage therapy?

The best way to prepare for your massage is to undress to your level of comfort and lie on the treatment table. You remain covered throughout the experience, and your practitioner uncovers each area of focus as the massage moves forward. 

Try to breathe deeply throughout the massage, which helps you relax. Your therapist focuses on one body area at a time, and you’re encouraged to speak up if you’d like more or less pressure. 

A combination of strokes and techniques are part of professional massage. Your therapist continuously gauges your response to the massage and makes adjustments accordingly. 

At some point, you turn to the other side so your therapist can cover all sides of your arms, legs, and shoulders. It’s tempting to fall asleep during a massage, but you get the most out of the experience if you stay awake and focused during your visit.
