Tip or not to tip ? That is the question I hear from alot of my clients over the years. Tips are never required but greatly appreciated! By American standards 20% or so it the going rate. First ask yourself… where you happy with your Massage? Was the Massage Therapist attentive to all your needs? Do you feel better after your massage? Relaxed and no pain? 🤔

First if IF your Massage Therapist is in a medical office or clinic most DON’T except or require tips. Its there policy. If your in a spa setting or private office the therapists will appreciate your gratuity. Mobile Massage as well appreciate your tips! ❤

First think like this … IF you were in a restaurant the waiter waits on your table 10% of the time. They are NOT there 100% of the time as A Massage Therapist is. It’s really up to you. 😉 IF your happy with your Massage Therapist tip them accordingly. If they went beyond what you expected and gave you an exceptional massage…Then show your appreciation back 😊

Really it’s totally up to you BUT I promise if you tip your Massage Therapist nicely they will ALWAYS

remember YOU! Whenever they cross your path again for your massage they will take care of you! Isn’t it worth knowing a good therapist and appreciating them ? ☺

Of course IF the Massage wasn’t good DON’T tip. It’s sad BUT their are massage therapists out there who are burned out and are not feeling like working. They only do it because it’s a job to them to pay their bills. Those are the ones who make it bad for us good Massage therapists that are the ” REAL ” deal!

MASSAGE IS definitely a gift that keeps giving! We live in a crazy busy scheduled world where we DONT take the time to enjoy life ! Everyone needs to R-E-L-A-X ! Who doesn’t LOVE a good Massage?! 😁

Why do people wait till they are in pain or can barely move before they will get a massage? 🤔 I for one never understood this. A PROFESSIONAL massage can do wonders for your mind, body and spirit! 🤗

You DONT need a prescription for a massage lol! Not yet anyway.. you just make a simple call. I promise you won’t regret it! 😍 The Massage will boost your mind making you feel really GREAT all day long..! Sometimes even for days! ❤ If your miserable you DEFINITELY will reap the benefits of a massage! 😴😴😴

Perhaps you have soreness? Or achy muscles? Why live with that ? You DON’T have to! Make your life easier … just get massages 💆‍♀️… Your body will Thankyou! Imagine how good it will feel to melt your stress away ? !😄

Over the years MANY people have asked me ” When should I get A MASSAGE?” I repeatedly tell them it ALL depends.

First I like to know what is your stress level? On a scale of 1 to 10? 1 obviously be the lesser stress and up to 10 being the higher stress. 🤔 A massage DEFINITELY helps combat your stress!

Do you have any pain ? Where ? How did it happen? Any injuries recently? Or surgeries? Believe it or not I had a lady come out of the hospital the next day after a surgery. She demanded a massage for her pain. I told her I needed a doctor’s note first. She was NOT happy with me. 😠 I had to call the doctor personally to verify her story. He told me ABSOLUTELY NOT! It’s nothing personal But as Licensed Massage Therapists we have to protect ourselves. We live in a society today where people are sue happy! 😣

Also We need to know your physical activity and your physical condition to determine if Massage Therapy is right for you. After a discussion and a series of questions answered we will know. 😊

Of course IF you want a massage… to RELAX .. then get one! A massage does a body good! In this day and age a massage IS NO LONGER a luxury but a necessity! Most people get them for relaxation purposes. 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

I always hear from clients when they are in pain. They always want to know what they should do first. Do you ice it? Do you heat it ? Do you move it around ? Do you rest it ? Do you get a massage ?Depending on the severity of the pain I may ask if they consulted with a doctor first. That is the first line of action. I’ll proceed from there depending on the situation. 🤔

Have you ever sprained your ankle? Strained your back ? Or perhaps pulled your hamstring? Yes I’m sure at one time or another we all have. Yes it’s aggravating ! Does the pain seem to get worse and not go away? Frustrating I know ! 😣 Now is it time for a MASSAGE?

Have you heard of the “R.I.C.E “method? Rest , Ice, Compression, and Elevate. The R.I.C.E method is used to bring the pain and swelling under control as quickly as possible .This is the standard protocol most doctors advise their patients. We as licensed Massage Therapists were also taught this method.

Now soon as people are in pain from an injury they immediately call for a massage! Seems to be logical right ?! Well depending on your personal circumstances pertaining to your injury, a massage may or may not be the right answer. Sometimes depending on your situation it can take 24 to 48 hours before a massage is allowed. Talk with a professional medical doctor first. 😊

Massage therapy has been shown to provide relief for a whole list of problems from anxiety to tension headaches. Of course you have to be aware that it takes a professional massage therapist to help you with improvements on these conditions.

Do you have allergies? Anxiety and stress? Arthritis or osteoarthritis? Rheumatoid? Maybe you have asthma or bronchitis? Are you feeling with carpal tunnel syndrome?🤔 A massage can help.

Do you have chronic back pain that doesn’t go away ? Lower back pain ? Depression ? Fibromyalgia? Or insomnia ? Can’t sleep? 🤔A massage can help.

Maybe you have neck and shoulder pain ? Or you may have headaches from hell THAT won’t go away! Or maybe sports injuries? 🤔 A massage to the rescue!

Whatever the case may be YOU need a massage that is effective! You need a professional massage therapist who understands the right massage techniques! 😊 A massage makes everything feel better!

Musicians seldom think they need Massage Therapy. Many don’t realize the stress they put on their body by singing, holding a guitar for hours at rehearsals or on tours. Standing for hours at a time whether on stage or off takes a toll on musicians. 😑

Many musicians have suffered from overuse of playing instruments for long periods of time. Their muscles get tense and tighten up like anyone else. It doesnt matter if your a singer or play an instrument… chances are your body needs a MASSAGE! 💆‍♂️

Why is it that musicians muscles get so tight ? It’s because doing the repetiveness of playing the instrument over and over again with not much rest. Maybe it’s singing so long that your vocal chords get tight? Whatever the case may be YOU definitely need to try out a professional massage! Let a licensed massage therapist help ! See how much better you feel after one .. you will DEFINITELY perform better after! 😊
