You’ve scheduled your massage and now you want to get the most out of your time with us, right? We have a few tips to ensure that.

No matter what type of massage you have scheduled your muscles are going to be manipulated to achieve ultimate relaxation. Even if there are no sore muscles that need attention, or knots to be kneaded out hydration is key the day of your treatment. Water intake is important before and after your massage to flush toxins from the body released from the muscles. Alcohol dehydrates you, so try and refrain on the day of your massage. Caffeine is also a natural diuretic, this includes limiting coffee, tea, and some chocolate.

Heavy meals may also be a bad idea, small meals and snacks are recommended. If you have a deep tissue, or swedish massage there may be some soreness afterwards. Stretching will help with that, also a warm bath.

Wardrobe for your appointment should be very comfy. High heels are not recommended because they can stress newly relaxed muscles.

Arrive early so the relaxation can begin in the waiting room, and please remember to use the bathroom too. When you enter the room for your massage remove your jewelry and remove as much clothing as you are comfortable with. During your treatment you will be covered with a sheet and handled by a professional therapist. During the massage try and totally relax , let your thoughts go, and BREATHE. A few things you should let him/ her know prior to your massage are : Do you have epilepsy, heart trouble or allergies. Are there any sensitive areas. Would you like the room quiet, or do you prefer music? If the rooms too hot/ cold please let us know, this time with us is all about your complete comfort.

Chronic pain effects a large amount of our population. All to often we are fed pills, and offered invasive and expensive treatments that often do not help. Physicians are now recognizing the benefits of massage therapy for patients suffering from headaches, neck/ back pain, depression and much more.

This alternate therapy works for headaches and pain several different ways. By increasing circulation and blood flow nutrients are better delivered to muscle tissue aiding in the recovery of muscle strain. Tension is also decreased, and flexibility increased.

During massage therapy we become relaxed and our brain releases endorphins, also referred to as your body’s natural pain killer. Muscles that are tight or inflamed lead to spasm and decreased range of motion. Most or all of these symptoms are alleviated with frequent massage therapy. Fibromyalgia is also often treated successfully by massage therapy. The therapists often target the “tender points” and the more widely distributed pain and stiffness.

Massage therapy is fast becoming an effective and cost effective option for chronic pain sufferers. Your therapist will assess the patient personally and discuss a personalized plan of treatment.

When your shoulders ache and your neck hurts it is can often be deep and achy. You may even have a headache, especially in the temples or behind your eyes or at the base of your skull. You may feel burning between your shoulder blades after sitting at your computer without elbow support. When we are under stress, the first place we feel pain and achiness is in our neck, shoulder and upper back area. They ache and burn from the base of your skull to between your shoulder blades. Here are some easy ways to help relieve shoulder and neck pain.

Stress. Stress. Stress.

The good news is that it is relatively easy to relieve this with massage. But, what are some of the causes of shoulder and neck pain? Stress. Stress. Yes, Stress, so stop stressing. Relax those shoulders!

1. One of the first, primary causes of neck and shoulder pain and ache is carrying your shoulders up near your ears. Remember to relax your shoulders.

2. Remember to sit up straight, lower your shoulders and bring your head back. Holding a phone between your ear and shoulder is also to be avoided, just get a headset.

3. Avoid carrying a heavy purse, laptop bag or backpack. Ask yourself if everything you are carrying in your purse or laptop bag is really necessary. Switch your purse from one shoulder to the next frequently. Just de-clutter your purse and laptop to reduce the weight.

4. Get a chair with arm rests. A working chair that has no arm rests make the weight of your arms hang from your shoulders.

5. Put your hands in your pockets if you are standing for a long time and if your keyboard is too high, get a keyboard shelf that is lower than your desk that places your arm are a more supported level for your body.

Your shoulders, neck and upper back are the most likely area someone will massage you when they give you a neck massage, and it often needs it. It can be tender and sore and have spots which “hurt so good” to be pressed. It is not hard for a massage therapist to find knots and ropes and ease them out.

If you are in pain now, you can schedule an appointment online or give us a call and let us help you set your shoulders neck and upper back free with acupressure, soothing hot oil and warm stone massage combo, this shoulder, neck and upper back detangling combo never fails.
