Frequently Asked Questions
What is massage therapy?
It is the practice of applying pressure, tension, motion, or vibration to the soft tissues and energy systems of the body. Massage can be applied to parts of the body or the whole body, to aid the process of injury healing, relieves psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation. When massage is used for its physiological, mental, and mechanical benefits, it is termed “therapeutic massage.” This combination of science and art provides a relaxing experience by artistic hand strokes on the body to rejuvenate the mind and body. It is a widely accepted part of many cultures, and is sometimes referred to as “Bodywork.” New York State requires Massage Therapists to be licensed.
How do I dress for a massage?
Depending on the type of massage, clients either undress to their level of comfort or can remain fully clothed during a session. The client’s privacy is always respected.
How will a massage feel?
It will depend on the techniques used by the therapist. Many massage therapists use a form of Swedish massage, which is often a baseline for practitioners. In a general Swedish massage, the session will typically start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax any exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes more relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax other specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. A light oil or lotion is often used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. You should not hesitate to ask questions or mention if you feel any discomfort so that the therapist can alter his/her approach or use another technique.
How will I feel after the massage therapy?
Most people feel very relaxed. Some will experience freedom from long term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for several days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended that you drink plenty of water following your massage.
Are there different types of Massage Therapy/Bodywork?
