massage...?

Jun 25, 2006 by soxfanmc | Posted in Other - Health

I got a massage this morning, and the therapist pulled the sheet all the way off of me. I didnt say anything because I wasnt uncomfortable. I just thought it was strange; what do you think?

Laws are different in each country or state so wether this was legal depends on your location. In any case, if you were covered by a sheet in the beginning, it should never have been removed without your permission first.

Massage therapy: How do you make the most money working as a massage therapist?

Feb 12, 2009 by Alia | Posted in Alternative Medicine

I am becoming a massage therapist. When I begin working how can I make the most money? Should I rent out a room or work directly for a company and get paid through them? Or some other way I might not know about. Thanks for the advice in advance.

What is the difference between a powder massage and a relax massage in Budapest baths?

Dec 02, 2008 by Kelly A | Posted in Other - Europe

I am traveling to Budapest and would like to visit one of the famous thermal baths there. Looking at their prices for services, I see that there are two types of massages offered: powder massage and relax massage. What is the difference between the two? Which one is a more intense, deep tissue massage?

I think you've seen the site www.spasbudapest.com. there is no real answer there and in the hungarian sites for your problem but the simpliest method to settle this send an email to the info@budapestgyogyfurdoi.hu.
the email button can be found in the bottom right of the site I mentioned above.
you are welcome there.

What is the style of massage called when the person walks on your back?

Jul 25, 2007 by Nettie | Posted in Alternative Medicine

I want to learn more about the style of massage where the person giving the massage walks on the person receiving the massage's back. I was told it was Thai massage but I don't know what to call it to find out more! I am interested in learning how to do this but I don't want to break someone's back trying!

Ashiatsu certification is a 3-part process. Cost is $550 to learn the basics and is available to massage therapists only.

I should add that there are other barefoot Swedish therapies. Receiving a Thai massage is similar to doing yoga, except the therapist is manipulating your body into stretches and positions!

What type of massage is best for shoulder and back tension?

Oct 05, 2008 by Christine | Posted in Alternative Medicine

I've never gotten a professional massage before, and I'm trying to figure out what kind would be best for my situation. I'm a musician with bad neck, shoulder, and back tension. Would a deep tissue massage be too intense for a first-timer? What is a reasonable price for a 45-60 min massage?

For getting a massage for the first time deep tissue will leave you sore. The soreness comes from the lactic acid that is accumulated from contracted muscles not getting enough oxygen which in turn causes knots or adhesions. When you are tense all the time we take shorter breaths and you're body stays positioned in one place for too long.

Get a therapeutic or customized massage meaning they adjust the pressure to you're muscle tonality and you should not feel uncomfortable. A resonable price for a 1 hour massage is $55- $75. I would suggest getting a 30 minute on you're upper body ( neck, back, shoulders, arms, hands, pec's and scalp) This is around $25-$45. See you're therapist at least every other week or once a month. Massage should be therapeutic and relaxing...even deep tissue is not supposto hurt it defeats the purpose. If you are in pain during a massage you're body feels that it is under attack and you start to tense up and you're money goes to waste no theraputic release has happened, just added stress.

After you're massage physically you will feel very fluid like you have full mobility of you're muscles and you will feel very light. You might feel some soreness but it should be tolerable...just drink lots of water and make sure you are taking some kind of calcium suppliment to absorb the lactic acid.

Also make sure you're therapist has a pleasent demenor about them that they respect you're body and pain tolerance and speak up if you have and uncomfortableness. and most importantly allow you're self to trust and release =)

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

How can I massage a knot out of my husbands back shoulder?

Aug 22, 2007 by Arria_11 | Posted in Pain & Pain Management

My husband has a cronic knot, or what feels like a tense ball in his back, left shoulder muscle. I have been trying to work it out with massage. It has been getting smaller but I can't seem to totally work it out. Any suggestions? Also, the ball of tension seems to move around a little as I massage. Thanks!

Try using your elbow on it in a circular motion. I did this for my fiance and it worked great. I guess I could get more pressure doing it that way. Another thing to do with knots is direct, steady, continuous pressure for a few seconds. You have to put quite a lot of pressure on it--almost to the point of being painful (sorry).

You might want to use a muscle rub as well (Ben Gay, Icy Hot, whatever you have). Then apply some heat with a heating pad or hot cloth. You could even put some heat on before you massage to start to loosen up the muscle. If he can do any stretches that stretch that area, that will also help. Good luck.

What is the best massage oil to us when giving you wife a home massage?

Jan 15, 2007 by Brian | Posted in Women's Health

Just a relazing massage nothing to do with sex. She just gave birth to our third child 1 month ago so I still have a couple weeks left before I can get lucky again.

KY has come out with some new massage lotions and oils, of which I have tried. They are excellent for just giving someone a regular massage. They have a variety of scents, and can be purchased at any drug or department store. You can read about them here
