Massage
A massage is a fantastic way to unwind, rejuvenate, and enhance your overall health and well-being.
If you've never experienced the benefits of a massage, read on to discover how it can improve your physical and mental health, and what to expect during a therapeutic session.
What is a Massage
Massage involves the application of pressure, manipulation, and rubbing of the skin and muscles. The pressure can range from gentle stroking to deeper, more intense pressure depending on your needs. There are various types of massage techniques, each designed to target different areas of the body, and some even incorporate tools like bamboo or lava shells to enhance and deepen the pressure, providing a more customised and effective experience.
Benefits of a Massage
Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.
While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:
-
Anxiety
-
Digestive disorders
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Headaches
-
Insomnia related to stress
-
Myofascial pain syndrome
-
Soft tissue strains or injuries
-
Sports injuries
-
Temporomandibular joint pain
Despite its benefits, massage isn't meant as a replacement for regular medical care so discuss with your doctor if you consider changing any treatment plans you have.
Important Information & Safety Guidelines
Most people can benefit from massage. However, massage may not be appropriate if you have:
-
Bleeding disorders or take blood-thinning medication
-
Burns or healing wounds
-
Deep vein thrombosis
-
Fractures
-
Severe osteoporosis
-
Severe thrombocytopenia
Discuss the pros and cons of massage with your doctor, especially if you are pregnant or you have cancer or unexplained pain.
Most serious problems come from too much pressure during massage. Some forms of massage can leave you feeling a bit sore the next day. But massage shouldn't ordinarily be painful or uncomfortable. If any part of your massage doesn't feel right or is painful, speak up right away.
What to Expect
What to Expect During a Massage Session:
1. Preparation: No special preparation is required for a massage. Before your first session, the therapist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals for the treatment. They will explain the type of massage and techniques you can expect.
2. Getting Ready:
-
The therapist will leave the room, allowing you to undress to your level of comfort (typically down to underwear) and lie face down on the massage table, covering yourself with a towel.
3. During the Massage:
-
The therapist will apply massage oil to reduce friction and heat during the massage. Please inform them if you have any allergies.
-
They will test different pressures to find what feels right for you.
-
If a sensitive spot or muscle knot is encountered, it may feel uncomfortable as the therapist works it out. However, it should never be painful — always communicate if you need adjustments.
4. Pressure Adjustments:
-
This is your session; feel free to request more or less pressure at any time.
-
In some cases, deeper pressure may be required to achieve your goals, but your comfort remains the priority.
5. Relaxation:
-
Feeling tired, sleepy, or even dozing off during a massage is perfectly normal. The therapist is accustomed to this and won't mind snoring.
-
If you fall asleep, the therapist will gently wake you once the session concludes.
Regardless of the technique or duration, a massage should leave you feeling calm, relaxed, and refreshed.
