Well of course you could! Who doesn’t L❤VE a great massage RIGHT?! I bet you know someone who will rub your shoulders? Massage your back or your feet ? LET’S admit it TOUCH feels good! It’s essential to our human life! So why spend your time and money on a professional Licensed Massage Therapist? 🤔

1. Knowing how to massage properly and what techniques are needed are needed to get the best results. Your well meaning friend or significant other isn’t trained professionally to know. Sure they mean well BUT they can cause more damage then good. Say you injured your back. Does he or she know the proper protocol of massage to help you out… it’s fair to say probably not! Ok I’ll give an example to highlight this. So you run a few miles one day and pull or strain a muscle. A Real Massage Therapist can help address that no problem! They know how to massage and help decrease your pain and this helps speed up your recovery process. Chances are your friend or whoever does not. Say they go to deep meaning to help you. This can cause more tissue damage. It also may increase your inflammation and PAIN. Are you willing to sacrifice it ?

2. Properly Licensed Massage Therapists have skills and experience. Massage Therapists know your body. They know what is connected to what. Essentially they understand how everything affects everything else… Does your friend? Probably not.

3. You need to make time for a proper Massage. You will see how it will impact your life and make ALL the difference. You just have to experience it for yourself. A professional massage is specifically catered to your ailments in your body. What hurts? Where? Now how to fix it. A professional massage will meet your physical needs. NO one likes PAIN or STRESS!

4. Can your friend MASSAGE you for 60 minutes? 90 minutes? Or 2 hours even? Ha I truly doubt it! I can’t tell you how many times I get calls from a husband or wife or a couple asking me please come massage them because their significant other gave up after 5 to 10 minutes. LOL! 😂 It’s hard work delivering the right massage catered for you.

5. Most people feel happy and sleep better after a professional massage! This is because they are truly relaxed in their body after the RIGHT massage by the professional Massage Therapist.

So by all means get the professional massage therapist to do the job right! You wouldn’t go to a dog groomer to get your car looked at RIGHT?! I’m just saying IF you want a massage done right please hire a professional massage therapist Thankyou! You will be glad you did !😄

Let’s face it we all today have a busy lifestyle. We are always on the go trying to go and keep up with our family and friends. DO you get massages to help? In time STRESS accumulates in our lives. It can interfere with our lifestyle and create chaos. It can affect personal life as well as our workplace environment. If it isn’t properly addressed… guess what? Fatigue settles in . 😣 Why don’t you get massages ?

Have you felt your life out of control? That heavy feeling that overtakes you and consumes you ? It will take it’s toll on you for sure! Do you know that ONE of the most effective ways to be in control is Massage Therapy? There are numerous scientific studies out there proven to ease your mental and physical fatigue. Are you aware?

Aren’t you worth it to RELAX, RECHARGE AND REJUVENATE? I think you are! Treat yourself to an AMAZING massage today! You will THANK me ! 😁

This is a typical question most Licensed Massage Therapists should ask while working on you. The Massage session is ALL about you so please feel free to speak your mind. There is no wrong answer. We want to help give you the best possible massage. It’s up to you to voice your opinion in your massage session.

There are soo many massage styles and protocols today more than ever! Keep in mind that based on your answers to our questions… we as massage therapists put together a game plan for your massage time. Be specific about your answers to our questions PLEASE! This is why we interview you before your massage to get a better idea of what will work for you. DON’T be shy or scared. We can’t help you fully if you are.

We as Licensed Massage Therapists aren’t “mind readers .” We can’t access your situation unless you provide us key information. We tailor your massage experience based out your answers. We don’t give you a “cookie cutter ” massage like alot of other therapists. We strive in being the best at what we do. Our compassion for massage is what compels us to help you. So please provide us with the necessary details first and be patient. Don’t just walk into the room and start getting “undressed” in front of us while we are asking questions. Yes it’s happened more than you know! 😣

While on the Massage Table we will ask you a few times during your massage about the pressure. This helps us as therapists to get a better understanding what’s good for you. Remember it’s not good to tell us at the end of the Massage that the pressure wasn’t right. By that time there’s not much we can do unless you are willing to pay for more time. We as Massage therapists are here to work with you to achieve your goals for your massage. This can make a world of difference in your massage time. We want you to walk out the door feeling GREAT after your massage !

We don’t want you disappointed because you didn’t speak up! So in closing please give any information to your Massage provider before your session. You will be glad you did! Ok ENJOY your massage! 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

HAVE you ever had muscle knots in your body? They can be located in your neck or back. They are tight fibers in your muscles that are unable to release. They are tender and painful. This pesky little nodules cause decreased blood flow to the areas. So lack of oxygen happens and build up of waste products. Sounds disgusting I know! 😣 NO wonder the pain doesn’t go away by itself! Massage to the rescue!

Muscle knots cause Pain! Tightness! And Tenderness! Seems they are commonly caused by STRESS! Are you stressed out? Emotional stress is the BIG one ! Did you know by exercising regularly you can combat the stress? These knotted things can be caused by sitting hours at a desk. Maybe you are overworking your muscles in the gym? Guys you know you do! 🏋️‍♂️ Isn’t it time for a massage? YES!

Now since you got these muscle knots how are you going to get rid of them? I’ll tell you that Massage Therapy has got to be the most effective way . A trained Massage Therapist will get to the root of your knots. Massage definitely makes a world of difference! A licensed Massage Therapist will work on your trigger point areas. They will apply firm pressure to the knotted areas. It can take several minutes to release the knots. It obviously won’t be the most pleasant experience. You will feel pain until the knot is released.

Also are you drinking enough water? If your NOT then your muscles will be dehydrated causing you knots and spasms… So people drink your water! Stay hydrated daily! Oh by the way coffee, tea and alcohol DON’T count! They are diuretics. So in closing people drink your water, exercise and get regular massages! 😁

Absolutely NOT! I have worked with Many Massage Therapists in my Massage Career.It amazes me at the stupid things they will DO during a Professional Massage session. I’ve seen many “Bad Massage ” habits in my time! The worst one I believe is “Texting ” on their cellphone while massaging a client.

Bad habits are developed overtime if you the client doesn’t speak up! DON’T let your Massage Therapist get away with it! You are paying good money to get a quality massage. 💰 You as the client must make this clear to the Therapist. Tell them you don’t approve of them texting while your getting your massage! I seriously am appalled that The Massage Professional at times gets away with this. This is NOT ok! This is NOT standard practice! 😣

There are many things wrong with texting . The Massage Therapist should solely give you the client 100% attention! It’s completely unprofessional, disrespectful and selfish towards you the client! 🤤

I know we live in an era where people are seriously addicted to their phones period! So IF your Massage Therapist is addicted to their phone you must tell them how you feel. It interrupts your massage session. I know it starts of innocently at first. They just sneak peak on their phone to check a message… then before you know it their on Facebook posting! 😩 This is just plain bad service! Massage therapists need to be focused on you the client for the entire massage experience.

Texting while they are massaging you the client is never ok! Please speak up and say so at your first massage. Let Your voice be heard. Speak clearly to your massagetherapist so there’s NO communication problem. I for one am sorry IF you experience this. If it doesn’t stop I suggest you look elsewhere for another Massage therapist. 🤔

This is your personal time to just RELAX during your massage! Time to close your eyes and immerse yourself into a state of quiet time. Listen to the soothing music being played in the background. Inhale all the aromatherapy smells around you. The lights are dimmed and the massage strokes are taking you into a comfort state… let everything GO! Leave the stress behind and E N J O Y That MASSAGE ! 😊

I never understand some people who FEEL like they have to talk ALL the way through the massage 😲… you are paying good money to RELAX. But hey it’s YOUR time do what you like. I talk before your massage session to ask you questions. This better prepares me to give you the best massage possible. It’s not required for you to talk unless your in pain. Or may be you want the pressure adjusted. Or maybe you have to pee ?😣 Please let your massage therapist know immediately… ! I have given up counting how many times clients hold it. I don’t get it ? If you got to pee then please tell us. We don’t mind . It will make for a much pleasurable massage for you if you do communicate.

Communication is important in a massage. Don’t get me wrong! I’m not complaining. Massage therapists need to know things before hand. During your massage it should be quiet time for you to shut your body down. This is your me time and make the most of it. I feel that when your quiet you relax much better. Your body receives the massage better. It then puts you in a better mood. It takes you to another level of an euphoric effect. Nothing gets better than that! NOTHING! 😊 Of course it’s YOUR time so experience your massage! AHHHHH! ❤
