Myohealing Tips: Choosing the Best Massage Therapist
“Let’s face it. Not all the massages we’ve gotten in our past were what we were looking for.”~ Edan Harari, LMT Whether you are first timer or just long time patron to massage therapy there will be a time that we need to seek out a new massage therapist in a certain massage clinic. But how will you find one? Here are some easy ways you can take.
Set your goals First, you need to identify your goals for a massage session. For example, you seek massage because you are stressed and you need to relax. You want to improve your work performance, or just want to enhance your health and well-being. Secondly, think what is the reason why you want to see a massage therapist.
Did a medical professional suggest you try massage? Do you experience a condition and you hope that having a massage therapy might alleviate? Do you know someone who has the same condition as you have and been cured by a massage?
By this, you can identify your goal, why you need to have a massage and the skills of the massage therapist.
Get some names Some of us are comfortable getting or considering a personal referral from our friend and sometimes they can answer some of our questions related to massage, its benefits and its experience when they visit a massage therapist. You can also seek for referrals to a health care provider or a medical specialist.
Consider your personal preferences You might need to include or wipe out a potential massage therapist or styles based on your personal preferences. For instance:
Would you prefer with a male or female therapist? Is the area important? (In the event that you plan to go a few times per week, you might need to discover a specialist near work or home.)
Make a call to find more about the therapist On the off chance that you don't have this information, you can call and ask about:
Style or strategies the massage therapist used Philosophy of consideration Number of years of practice Specialty area, involvement with specific conditions (diabetes, coronary illness, pregnancy, severe neck and back pains) Training, advance certification If the specialist has a place with expert associations
