My Massage Common Questions Answered The goal of massage & why is massage good for me? The main focus of massage is the support of the body's healing process through touch. Bodywork is a potent awareness tool and has unlimited potential for transforming dysfunction. Aside from being an enjoyable experience, massage will help you to relax, reduce stress, stay informed and become more aware of your body. All of these benefits will contribute to your enjoyment of a more active, healthy and fulfilling life. When should I use Ice versus Heat? Use ice/cold packs to reduce swelling and inflammation of joints and tendon attachment areas. Typically try 10 minutes on, then 10 minutes off and repeat as necessary (place ice into a plastic bag then wrap with a small towel, avoid ice to skin contact). Use heat (moist heat is preferred) on muscles that are chronically tight and sore. Heat will help the muscle to relax and allow more blood flow. The importance of drinking water. Drinking water is the best way to help your body stay hydrated. It helps to expel toxins and metabolic wastes that were flushed out of the muscles during the massage. Drinking water will also help with latent soreness and fatigue. Do I have to take my clothes off? First and most importantly, you need to feel comfortable and relaxed, so disrobing to your comfort level is a priority. You will be alone when you undress and you will always be covered with a sheet throughout your massage. Only area that is being treated will be uncovered. The therapist will work within your comfort level to achieve the best massage possible. |
