Make the Most of you Massage
Massage can help
your body maintain a healthy balance. Even though a
massage is a powerful thing itself. There are many
techniques you can use to make the most out of your
massage. This articles lists a couple of things you can
do get the most out of your Smokey Mountain Massage!
Before your session..
An important factor that helps to set your Smokey
Mountain Massage mood is your influences in your daily
life. You can improve your session by preparing for your
massage before hand. If you can put everything else
aside during your massage time, it will truly help you
relax and enjoy every bit of your massage. If you are
stressed out, a massage is exactly what you need.
Other things you can do, to enjoy every moment of your
massage:
-
Take a relaxing
bath or shower before hand
-
Limit
consumption of caffeine and sugar and other
stimulants
-
Avoid eating
immediately before your appointment
-
Allow extra
time in your schedule so you don’t have to rush to
be ready for your session. Rushing could make it
take longer for you to reach a relaxed state.
-
Be aware of
your current condition so you can report anything
that needs attention. It’s important to explain
what’s going on healthwise, because changing health
conditions can affect your massage needs.
During your
session...
-
Talk about
what’s going on. If there is a tender spot or an
injured area, bring it up so it can be addressed. If
you feel you need more pressure or a lighter touch
during the session, be sure to let us know. If
everything is great, you can lie back and relax. If
you find your attention is on something talk about
it, it will help you to be able to lie back and
relax!
-
Specify your
preferences. Everyone has different needs and wants,
so be sure to let us know what you prefer! Is
everything in the massage environment okay? The
temperature? The lighting? Any other distractions?
Are you completely at ease? Do you like certain
music? Is the volume okay? Do you like specific
techniques? More time spent on a certain area? Each
session is especially for you, please communicate
about what you like and dislike! If there is
anything you don’t understand, please ask so we can
discuss it.
-
Let it all go
and relax! One of the major massage goals for many
people is to lessen tension and stress. Many of
those aches and pains that demand our attention are
linked to stress. In fact — according to Dr. Sandra
McLanahan — eighty percent of disease is
stress-related, so maximizing the relaxation in each
session should help you to maintain a much higher
level of well-being!
-
One way to
quiet your mind is to focus your attention on the
session — really get in tune with your sense of
touch.
-
Proper
breathing helps you to relax and to reach your
session goals. Slow, deep breathing will provide
your body with much-needed oxygen.
After your
session...
-
If at all
possible, allow for some quiet time before you
continue your busy life.
-
Drink extra
water!! Massage releases waste products and toxins
from your muscles. Increasing your fluid intake
lowers this toxicity and lessens the strain on
filtering organs.
Before your next
session...
-
Make your
massage results last by avoiding as many stressful
elements as possible.
-
Schedule your
next appointment! When you make bodywork a regular
part of your life, you are helping your body to
maintain a better state of balance.
-
In the long
run, you stand to enjoy much better health gains
through consistent sessions.
-
Make note of
anything that occurs between sessions to bring up
next time.
-
Be sure to
enjoy your life!
Nothing is more
important than your health, so make taking care of
yourself one of your number one priorities. When you
feel your best, you are in a much better condition to
deal with all of life’s challenges and demands.
Hopefully, this list has given you at least a couple of
helpful hints. If there are any other points you’d like
to bring up, please let us know so that we can discuss
them. If you have any questions regarding your massage
and bodywork sessions or your health, please feel free
to ask.
