Before Massage
To get the most out of a remedial massage, it is important that you know what you wish to achieve from the session. It may be to assist your general health & wellbeing. And also be to relieve specific, aching muscles or general stiffness in your body.
You should tell your massage therapist about any other health issue(s) that you may be experiencing.
During Massage
In your first session, the therapist will determine your treatment goals. They will also undertake a general assessment which may include postural and structural assessment. This is when you can mention any specific complaints that you wish to address. After that, once you lie down on the massage table for treatment, the therapist may perform diagnostic strokes on various parts of your body. This is to determine levels of tension in your body and the state of your muscles.
A towel will cover you for most of the session. The therapist will expose only the areas that they will be working on. The therapist may use a suitable oil or cream, and a variety of techniques to remedy your problem and to soothe your problem areas.
The massage therapist can work with a variety of pressures. This is because different bodies/clients require different types of pressure and strokes. if you feel any discomfort during your massage session, please feel free to tell your massage therapist. They can alter their strokes or vary their pressures.
After Massage
For certain types of treatments, it is possible that you feel some soreness or tenderness a few days after your massage therapy session. Please feel free to ask your therapist, how to take care of your body after your treatment.
