What
is a massage good for?
Believe it or not, massage either directly or indirectly
affects every system of the body. For that reason,
massage is good for a multitude of ailments including:
Along with causing a
reduction in the stress hormones, it will also help to
diminish depressive symptoms. Massage will help to
increase the range of motion and will help to decrease
swelling/edema. Along with the increase in blood
circulation from massage, lymph will also travel more
freely throughout the body, thus enhancing the immune
system. Massage can also aid in special circumstances not
normally thought of, such as Attention Deficit Disorder,
the development and weight gain of premature babies,
assisting women before and after a pregnancy, as well as
during the labor, eating disorders, and chemical
addictions, among others. Ask me if you have any
questions about a specific disorder.
Why
do you think it is important to receive a massage?
I think that there
are a lot of people out in this world who are "walking
wounded". They are on a personal journey not knowing
where they are going or what they are looking for.
Perhaps they feel as though they just don't belong in
their body anymore because that body is not working for
them, kind of like a wet suit that doesn't fit. Research
has shown the positive effects of massage again and
again. Massage can benefit everyone, if they would just
give it a try. Whatever the reason for feeling out of
sorts, within a single heartbeat you can change your
environment, just as taking a very deep breath will change
your outlook. Why not start today and schedule your
massage.

Is massage
supposed to hurt?
A lot of
people think that massage is like exercise, and supposed to
hurt. Massage is literally exercising the muscles, but it is
not supposed to hurt. There
may be some places that are tender and may be initially
uncomfortable, but we always work within the person's tolerance
level. There also is a difference between a "good hurt" and a
hurt that just plain hurts. We never want the massage to
just plain hurt. Sometimes though the "good hurt" is
needed to work through the knot in the muscle. We work
within what that person feels is comfortable
How often
should I get a massage?
This is a
very common question, and has a different answer for everyone
who asks it! If you are experiencing acute pain or suffer
from high stress levels, receiving massages on a regular weekly
or bi-monthly basis will benefit you the most. If you are
looking for general stress reduction or relaxation, once a month
is what a lot of people find works for them. After you
have received regular massages, your body will also let you know
when you need more bodywork done.
How
much is a massage?
These days it's hard to put a price on
your wellness. However, in today's society and fast paced
lifestyle, your health needs to be a top priority to keep you
going on that highway of life. Money spent today on wellness
and stress reduction can certainly save you money that would
have been spent, much to your disliking, in the event of
sickness and time off of work. Many people would much rather
invest in themselves, so that in turn they are better equipped
to deal with life's daily turmoil. Massage is the natural and
holistic answer to stress reduction. When weighed against
prescriptions and medical procedures, massage is an enjoyable
bargain!

Do you take
insurance?
At this
time, insurance is not filed directly by the massage therapist.
We can help you fill out your forms and supply the necessary
documentation to assist you in that process. Some clients have
had insurance companies reimburse them for their massages. With
the health care industry changing almost daily, hopefully
insurance companies will recognize that preventive care saves
money. Let your insurance company know that you would like them
to cover massage.
Another
problem, I believe, with the healthcare industry and insurance,
is that you have to be "sick" to get in to the system. Massage
is a way of taking care of yourself before you find
yourself suffering ailments perhaps caused by stress.
What
is on-site massage or chair massage?
On-Site
massage is where the therapist comes to your office or any other
location, with a chair specially designed for massages. It
is a convenient and cost-effective way for employers to bring in
a massage therapist to help decrease the stress in the work
environment. It only takes a short time (usually 15
minutes per employee) and is done fully clothed. Many
employers see their employees working more productively, using
less sick days, having increased morale, while at the same time
helping the employees improve their general wellness. What
a wonderful company benefit!
