womens therapy, you should always ensure you approach only licensed
massage therapist.
Don't let your reservations or fears about massage prevent you from
accessing this beneficial care health womens remedy.
If you're
at all concerned by the past stigma associated with 'massage', or if you're conscious about the 'hands-on' and personal nature of what it involves, then the following guidelines, some of which have
been drawn from the American Massage Therapy Association, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, should help prepare you as to what to expect as well as easing some of your concerns.
If you're looking for a basic massage to aid relaxation for
instance, then the cost of this alternative care health womens remedy is likely to be in the region of $60 -$75 per hour. A full head to toe massage will likely take between 45 minutes to an hour
Expect to pay more if your care health womens issue necessitate any deep tissue massage, or if you need pain relief work, or you require home visits. You may well find that your costs are covered by your insurance but only if you are referred by your doctor or by a physio therapist for a specific therapy that relate to, say, an injury or condition for which you're presently under your doctor's care
The massage therapy procedure and what it involves should be fully explained to you prior. You should also expect a full assessment of your needs and wants, which
can take the form of a either direct conversation or involve you filling out a questionnaire
Before you make any decisions, take note of the environment and the level of professionalism. Is it clean and organised? Are the equipment in good order?
Have you been introduced to the person who will carry out your massage? Do you feel at ease with the person?
If you are to benefit from your care health womens therapy sessions, you must feel confident and at ease with your service provider. If you don't, go elsewhere
Being scantily clad, or wearing nothing, while being massaged by a complete stranger can seem a daunting proposition for some women. However, to derive the fullest benefit from this care health womens solution, it is best to wear the least clothing you possibly can. Practices vary and some therapists will provide you with light modest garments, while in other practices you are provided with a sheet or large towel to protect your modesty during massage.
You can also of course request a therapist of your own gender, if this will make you feel more comfortable or if it is a requirement of your religious faith and/or culture. Just ask when you make your initial inquiry. A professional therapist will advise you and make suggestions. The choice should then be 100% yours
The therapist's aim is to create a relaxing and soothing environment in which you can feel safe and secure. For starters, music, lights and scented oils may be used if the aim of your care health womens therapy is for relaxation purposes for instance. The therapist will leave the room, giving you privacy to undress and to prepare for your massage
While basic massage should not cause you to hurt, you
may experience discomfort from deep tissue massage and other injury-related massage. Be sure to tell your therapist of this. Any discomfort you experience will ease over subsequent visits
When undergoing a care health womens solution such as massage, it is not unusual to experience sleepiness, or even a feeling of being energised. From my personal
experience, I would nearly always need to come home and
feel so completely relaxed that I would just rest for a
couple of hours. By the next day, I felt 'on top of the
world'. Different women will react in different ways
There are a number of massage products and aids presently
on the market that might be of interest to you.
On the final note, using massage therapy as a care health womens remedy should be a beneficial, therapeutic experience and one that make you feel totally comfortable
with your therapist.
Any conduct that you deem inappropriate, whether it is unsubstantiated claims about
the effectiveness of your therapy; or any touching that
is outside the realm of your massage; or any suggestive
language, should be reported either to a superior or alternatively, to the relevant authorities.
