How to Make the Post Massage Feeling Last

10/7/2019

0 Comments

 
Massage Clearfield
​Just like how relieved you feel after taking a glass of water, massage will make you relax and enjoy countless health benefits. Your physical, emotional and mental health is rejuvenated and all you want is to keep feeling this way.
Now, how do you make this post-massage feeling linger for longer? This guide provides great tips on how you can make that great feeling after massage therapy last longer:
1. Schedule Your Massage in the Evening
Though it is possible to have your massage in the morning or during your lunch break, the best option is to wait until you are done for the day. This way, you will have enough time to rest after your massage which will help in sustaining the benefits of massage.
You can also choose to have your massage on weekends when you are not working as you will get sufficient rest afterward. Getting into a busy schedule immediately after your massage will most likely make the tension get back almost immediately after massage.
2. Stay in a Calming Environment
After a professional massage, it will be more beneficial to stay in a calming environment. Avoid very loud noises or playing loud music and instead, play some calming music. Getting into an argument after your massage will bring back the tension the massage therapist worked so hard to get rid of.
3. Stay Hydrated
It has been said over and over that massage helps in the release of the toxins that had been trapped in your muscles. Taking a lot of water will boost the excretion of these toxins and prevent you from feeling sore a day after your massage.
4. Wear Loose Clothing
After a professional massage, your muscles may be sore and wearing tight clothing may be too uncomfortable. You should wear loose clothes when going for a massage as these will be more comfortable. If you’ll be going to the spa from the office, you can carry a change of clothes that will make you comfortable when going home from the spa.
5. Have More Me Time
Instead of going out for partying or family gatherings after a professional massage, dedicate the rest of the day to yourself. For instance, you can schedule other appointments such as manicure, pedicure or even a hairdo on the same day. The pampering will give you enough time to think about you and focus on making yourself a better person.
As you can see, how long the good feeling lasts after a professional massage depends on what you do or don’t do. Right scheduling and making a wise choice on who to associate with after that relaxing experience will make you enjoy the benefits of massage longer.
It is also important to get regular massages so that you can continue reaping the benefits of your massage. Depending on your budget and availability, you can choose a weekly, monthly or go for your massage twice a month. You will love the happiness, peace, and the absolute peace you will enjoy every time you get a professional massage.

Amazing Tips for Getting the Right Prenatal Massage

9/21/2019

Pregnancy Massage Clearfield
Pregnancy can make you uncomfortable to the extent that you are unable to conduct your normal duties. You will feel varying aches, pains, and constant mood swings that can make the pregnancy journey quite difficult. The increased weight and the fact that it is centered on your belly will result in a change of posture as the body tries to accommodate to the changes.
Getting a prenatal massage is one of the most effective ways of helping you to cope with the changes happening as a result of the pregnancy. A lot of spas offer pregnancy massage and choosing among them can be difficult.
Here are some amazing tips to help you get the best prenatal massage:
  • Ensure that the massage therapist has adequate training and vast experience in pregnancy massage. To ensure that he is really good at it, you can check the reviews submitted by previous clients. If most of these reviews are positive, you can go for your massage with the assurance that you’ll get exceptional services.
  • Talk to your therapist about any concerns, difficulties or aches: to be able to offer customized massage services, the massage therapist will ask about your medical history. He will want to know about your pains and discomforts and whether there is any particular time that the condition gets worse.
Talking about any troublesome issue in your body will help the massage therapist to know the best massage technique to handle it.
  • Ensure that you are comfortable during the massage: before the start of your massage, ensure that you are lying or sitting comfortably as this is the only way you’ll enjoy your massage. If your pregnancy is in the second or third trimester, lying on your belly may not be possible. The massage therapist should help you get in a comfortable sitting position or lying on your side.
  • Speak Up During the Massage: it is normal to get uncomfortable sitting or lying in one position for long while pregnant. Any time you feel the need to change your position, speak up and the massage therapist will ensure you are in a more comfortable position. You should also speak up if you feel that the pressure the massage therapist is using is too much.
The most important step towards getting the prenatal massage you deserve is choosing the right spa and the right pregnancy massage therapist. Ask whether the massage therapist has handled cases similar to yours in the past to avoid being used for experimental purposes.
You will find your pregnancy journey much easier when you get regular massages from a therapist who is really good at what he does. A person that is not only interested in helping you to get rid of any discomfort but one that will ensure that your baby is safe as well.
You can book your pregnancy massage once a month to begin with and as your pregnancy advances, go for bi-weekly massages. This way, you will be in perfect shape when the time comes to deliver.

Will Massage Oils Lead to Breakouts?

8/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Massage Oils
​Are you making plans for your first massage appointment but are afraid that the massage oils that the massage therapist will use will lead to breakouts? If you have a sensitive skin, it is most likely that you have undergone several beauty procedures, some of which have gone terribly wrong. As a result, you are afraid that your upcoming massage appointment will result in more skin complications as a result of the oils the massage therapist will use.
If you have sensitive skin, make the massage therapist know before going for your appointment. This way, he will have enough time to get a massage oil that will not lead to breakouts during or after the massage. Most professional spas use oils or lotions that are hypoallergenic made from highest quality ingredients.
It is important to choose the right massage spa where the products used are pure and natural. Do not go to cheap spas as the products that will be used during the massage will be of low quality. Like every other product or service you buy, you will get a value that is equivalent to the amount you will pay.
One of the greatest benefits of massage is the restoration of the skin’s natural balance. It also helps in reducing or getting rid of stress and when this happens, acne symptoms will reduce greatly. Massage enhances the flow of blood and nutrients in all parts of the body which will help in keeping your skin healthy and free from acne.
Here are Some of the Essential Oils that the Massage Therapist Will Use to Prevent Breakouts
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree is best known for its antibacterial and antibiotic properties and you will never miss it in all professional massage spas. When the massage therapist uses the oil on you, it will kill all germs or bacteria that have been resistant to other topical antibiotics. As you continue getting your massage, the size of the acne will keep diminishing and in the end, it will dry up and your skin will be completely healed.
It is important to use the right moisturizers after the massage to sustain the benefits you achieved from the massage. If you use the wrong products, the problem can easily recur or even become worse.
Cloves Essential Oils
Cloves essential oil has antiseptic properties and will help in getting rid of the bacteria that causes acne. The oil also has anti-fungal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties and will reverse any cystic outbreak in your skin. Clove oils should be used with caution as it is highly stimulative and would lead to side effects if wrongly used. A professional massage therapist knows the best amount to use based on the condition of your skin.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender oil is known to have a calming effect on the skin during massage. This makes it ideal if you suffer from cysts, pimples or ingrown hair. If your skin is itchy as a result of the breakouts, lavender oil will sooth the skin and repair the damage caused by the acne breakout. If you have some open pimples, the massage therapist will use a carrier oil such as coconut oil before using lavender oil on your skin.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense essential oil is best known for its ability to heal scars on the skin.  If you have popping zits on your skin and your skin is dry and irritated, this essential oil will greatly improve your condition.
Jojoba Oils
Jojoba oil has lightening capabilities and will be essential for getting rid of scars or marks that occurred as a result of acne breakouts. It will penetrate your skin without clogging it which is why most massage therapists use it for massaging sensitive skin.
In addition to reducing the occurrence of acne on your skin, there are other benefits you will get from a massage. Here are some of these benefits:
You will look younger
When you are finally able to get rid of acne and other skin complications as a result of the massage, your skin will start glowing. The old and tired look will be replaced by a new, glowing look that will make you younger. To sustain this look, the massage therapist will advise you on the daily beauty procedures you should follow after the massage.
There will be better absorption of the beauty products you use on your skin
Having a professional massage will help in opening the clogged skin pores. With this, the skin will be able to absorb the beauty products you use every day. To sustain these benefits, you should ensure that you get regular massage, weekly or monthly based on the budget you have set aside for the same.
Massage is a natural facelift
When the massage therapist stimulates your muscles during the massage, it will allow better circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients. This enhanced circulation will make your skin look younger and more beautiful. You will love getting a massage over and over again once you begin to see the amazing transformation in your skin.
To get the full benefits of a massage when using massage oils, it is important to ensure that you go to the best spa. Ensure that the massage therapist has the right training to carry out acne massage and knows the best oils to use for your kind of skin. The cost of going to a good spa may be higher but you will love the results.
Do not forget that you have sensitive skin and that a simple mistake would lead to more breakouts. You can ask for recommendations from the people that have sensitive skin like you about the best massage therapist for your type of skin. It would also be advisable to follow the right procedures when taking care of your sensitive skin. Be careful with the products you use after the massage so that you sustain the benefits of the massage for longer.

Amazing Benefits of Spa Treatments

Spa Treatment
After a busy day at work, it is important to escape into the world of relaxation in a professional spa. You will get multiple health benefits whether you choose 30 minutes or a few hours to go to the spa. If you are a city dweller, there may be numerous spas near your place of work. You can choose to book your spa appointment during your lunch break, before you report to work or after your office hours.
You can visit the spa before booking your appointment so that you can know what is on offer. The choice will also depend on the amount you want to spend on your spa treatment. For instance, you can choose to get a massage, a waxing hair removal treatment or even manicure and pedicure. What is important is getting some time to get pampered and regain the energy and the inner peace you were previously lacking.
Here are some of the benefits you will achieve by going to the spa:
  • You will have some ‘me time’ where you will disengage from your work, family or friends. It will be a time when all that matters is the treatment you are getting and the benefits you will get from it.
  • A spa treatment will slow you down and give your body time to regenerate. If you feel drained, tired, and out of focus, go to the spa. The aesthetician will give you a treatment that will meet your needs and before you know it, you will be feeling much better.
  • Some spa treatments boost the working of your lymphatic system: any time you feel that your body is taking too long to get rid of toxins, get a good massage. You will be able to overcome the bloating that is associated with poor lymphatic flow.
  • Some treatments such as exfoliation will polish your skin, enhance cell regeneration, refine your pores, and provide relief to your skin.
  • Spa treatments enhance blood circulation: When you get spa services such as massage, the circulation of blood in your body will improve greatly. It will also allow oxygen and nutrients to flow freely in every part of your body.
  • If you are suffering from pains in your body, spa treatment will greatly improve your condition or get rid of the pain. You will be in a position to carry out your daily tasks and also become more productive in your workplace.
Any time you feel tired, sickly, and stressed, visit your favorite spa and get the right treatment. If you are unsure about the right spa for you, ask your friends or family to recommend a good spa. You will love the curative power of spa treatments and the positive impact they will have on your life. You will also receive advice on ways you can make your life better by making positive changes regarding your daily beauty routine and your lifestyle as well. The cost for such services may be higher in a professional spa but you will love the outcome.

What do you wear During a Professional Massage?

8/28/2019

0 Comments

 
Massage Dress
The best thing about professional massage therapy is that you are not ‘supposed’ to do anything. You can choose not to remove your undergarments if this makes you more comfortable or some of your other clothes. Massage is all about feeling good and if anything stands in the way, the best option is to avoid it.
This said, it is important to remember that different massage techniques will require a different touch. For some, you will be okay when you have your clothes on such as sports massage or chair massage. For other types of massage like traditional Swedish massage, you will be better if you have no clothes on. Here are some of the factors that will determine your choice of having your clothes on or removing them during a professional massage session:
Style of Massage
There are multiple massage styles where you will not need to remove most of your clothes the massage such as chair massage, shiatsu massage or Thai massage. For Thai massage, you can put on a baggy t-shirt and some shorts during your massage and the massage therapist will find his way.
Chair massage is mostly carried out in corporate offices or other events and you will not need to remove most of your clothes during the massage. In most cases, you will get off your coat or jacket, and your tie during the massage.
There are some types of massage like the traditional Swedish massage or a relaxation massage that will be best if you are completely naked. For others like sports massage, orthopedic massage or neurokinetic massage, you will need some clothes on during the massage. This is because they involve a lot of movement or stretching during the massage. The massage therapist will ask you to have your sports bra and sports short on during the massage.
When you are getting an aromatherapy massage, it is important to remember that it involves the application of oil. Leaving some of your clothes on means that some of the oil will find its way to your clothes. If you don’t have a problem with walking home with your clothes drenched in oil, you can have them on during the massage. Alternatively, you can carry a change of undergarments so that you can change into clean ones after your massage. If this is still not good for you, you can remove all your clothes. The massage therapist will ensure that your body remains covered except for the part of the body he is working on.
Area the Massage Therapist is Working on
If you will be having a full body massage, it would be more convenient if you are completely naked. Leaving your bra on if you are a woman will get in the way of full back strokes which will make the massage less comfortable for the massage therapist.
Level of Comfort
If you are going for a professional massage for the first time, you may not be comfortable if you are completely naked during massage. In such instances, the massage therapist will ask you to undress to the level you are most comfortable in and then get under the sheet.
Most women prefer to have their pants on during the massage and some will leave the bra on as well. If this is what will allow you to remain comfortable during your massage, the massage therapist will still find his way around your body during the massage. What is important to remember is that during the entire massage, the only part of your body that will be exposed is the part that the massage therapist will be working on. Your private areas will remain covered throughout the massage and this means your decency will remain intact.
If you have been getting professional massages for some time, you already know what a professional massage is about and will not have any problem getting completely naked. Just like your doctor, a massage therapist is a professional and will only concentrate on your reason for visiting the spa, which is getting a professional massage.
It is important to get a professional massage spa where you will get a trained and experienced massage therapist. Here, you will get a therapist who will make you comfortable during your massage and with time, you will have developed enough confidence to get completely naked during your massage. You will be assured that nothing will go wrong whether you are completely naked or you have your undies on.
Most men prefer to have their boxers on during the massage which will be embarrassing. A professional massage therapist has been trained how to handle such instances and you should, therefore, not feel embarrassed if it happens. He will either move to another part of your body to give you time to recover or change the massage technique.
The massage therapist has handled similar cases in the past and will know the best way to make you more comfortable when it happens. If you choose to keep your boxers on, your hamstrings may not get massaged.
Important Points to Remember
A professional massage is always carried out with draping, which could either be a towel or linen. The main reason for this is to create the right boundary between you and the massage therapist. Your modesty and privacy will remain intact during the massage as no part of your body will be unnecessarily exposed. The draping will also help to keep you warm throughout the massage session as your temperature will keep changing throughout the massage session.
As long as the massage therapist is a professional and has your best interests at heart, you don’t have any reason to be afraid when going for a massage. Should anything go wrong and you feel that the massage therapist is going against your need for privacy and decency, you have a right to stop the massage. You will ask the massage therapist to leave the room so that you can dress up and prepare to leave the massage room. If it was on the extreme, you can choose to report the issue to the spa management.

Amazing Ways a Couples Massage Can Make Your Relationship Better

7/23/2019

0 Comments

 
Couples Massage in Clearfield Utah
Going for a professional couples massage is among the easiest ways of rekindling your romance as a couple. It will not only strengthen your bond but will also reduce any work or relationship-related stress which will enable you to relate better. If there has been a recent loss of trust in your relationship, having a massage together will bridge these gaps and give you a chance to have a fresh start.
Your partner may have gotten used to the special treats in exotic hotels, amazing holiday destinations, or even seasonal surprise gifts such that she no longer regard them as special. She is used to getting everything else that money can buy and you’ve run short of ideas on how you can make her happy again. A relaxing couples massage will be the best gift in this case as it will result in an atmosphere of love, reconciliation, togetherness, and care.
Here are Some Ways in Which Your Relationship Will Benefit from a Couples Massage
Results in Effortless Intimacy
If you feel that you’ve grown distant emotionally or physically, getting a massage together will be a new starting point. You will be able to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere at the spa and get relief from any pain, stress or stiffness in your bodies. You will be able to look into your lover’s eyes during the massage or even hold hands if your massage beds are close enough.
As the massage therapist works his way on your bodies, all your thoughts will be on each other. Your partner will feel loved and valued all over again which will rekindle the intimacy you though can never be restored.
Makes Your Trust and Bond Stronger
When you go for a professional massage alone or even go out to have a good time with your friends, your partner may have reasons not to believe you. However, going for a massage together will be an indication that you have nothing to hide. A massage is an intimate affair and is a show of absolute love and surrender to the person that matters the most to you. As you lie on that table and focus all your thoughts and imaginations of what your partner means to you, the relationship will get much better.
Massage Will Make You Take Life More Positively
As you get a couples massage, you will get a chance to forget all your problems, schedules, and even your children if you have some. As the massage therapist works on your bodies, you will feel too good to think of any other thing besides what is in your present. The calmness and the peace of the moment as you enjoy the deep relaxation and relief from the massage will stimulate positive thinking. If you were having second thoughts about your relationship, you will change that perception and regard your partner as the best thing that ever happened to you.
You Will Fall in Love With Your Partner All Over Again
Spending quality time at the spa will give life to your relationship. The simplicity of lying beside each other at the spa and having massage therapists working their way on your bodies will bring you closer. As a result of the massage, oxytocin, which is the love hormone will get released and as a result, your love will be rekindled. Instead of trying to find faults and the shortcomings of your partner, you will look on the positives. You will remember all the reasons that made you fall in love with your partner in the first place and work on bringing them to life all over again.
Your Communication Will Get Better
As a result of your busy schedules, your daily targets or even your children, it is possible that your communication is not as good as it was in the past. You have too many distractions every time you want to have a meaningful conversation that makes you abandon it halfway. A couple’s massage will be the best moment for you to enjoy some quality time together.
After your massage, you can use the other facilities within the spa premises such as hot tubs or saunas to make some wonderful memories. You can also enjoy a bottle of champagne as you catch up on what you’ve missed during those times you were too busy.
You Will Have the Best Moment of Your Relationship
When you go out on a date at the spa, it is easy to get distracted or have other people joining you which will deny you the privacy to crave for. During a couple’s massage, however, it will be you, your partner and the massage therapists in your room. Once you are through with the massage, you can spend the rest of the day together as you catch up on what you missed.
You can also spice up your day by booking a suite in a nearby hotel where you will spend the night. There is no way you can spend such quality time together and not fall in love with each other all over again.
In addition to all the benefits you will get from your couples massage in regards to your union, you will enjoy all the other benefits of massage. You will get relief from backache, headaches, anxiety, depression, and stomach upset, among others. The flow of blood, nutrients, and oxygen will be enhanced and this will make you healthier.

Amazing Aftercare Tips after Getting a Massage

7/21/2019

Massage in Clearfield
​Getting a professional massage is an amazing experience that has immeasurable benefits for your mind, body, and spirit. The relief and the renewal you feel is out of this world and if possible, you can give anything to have this experience every day of your life.
Here are some great aftercare tips that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of your professional massage long after you leave the spa:
1. Hydrate
Every health practitioner will tell you how important it is to stay hydrated regardless of your health status or even your age. You need to take a lot of water before and even after your massage to help in cleaning your body.
During the massage, a lot of toxins will be released from your muscles and into your system. Staying hydrated will help in getting rid of these toxins and ensure that they do not find their way into the bloodstream. If you fail to take water, the gains you had achieved from your massage will not last long as the toxins will have a negative impact on your health.
2. Avoid Straining Yourself too Much
If you went to the spa for a deep tissue massage or even a gentle massage, it is important that you take a rest after leaving the spa. You need to maintain the relaxed state of your muscles unless what you need to do is mandatory or an emergency. It would not be right to hit the gym immediately after the massage as it would put too much strain on your body. If possible, take a rest after your massage and allow your body to enjoy the benefits of your massage.
3. Never Ignore Your Body
It is important to consider how your body feels each day after having your massage. If you feel an ache or your muscles feels sore, make some moves that will make you feel better. A little stretching of your body each day will go a long way in making you enjoy the benefits of your massage for longer. If all your efforts do not bring any relief, book another massage appointment.
4. Change Your Posture Every Once in a While
If you work in an office or you are carrying out a task that required you to sit for long durations, changing your posture would be of great benefit. For instance, you can choose to walk around, do yoga, run, workout or even meditate for at least 30 minutes each day. It is important to set time aside every day to work on getting better.
5. Take a Breather
Each day, you need to take some time and think about your life. Think of what you have gained from your efforts and what you can change to make things better. If there is an area in your life that you need to work on to make your life better, take the necessary actions. Do not wait until things get out of hand to make a change as this would be more difficult.
You may want to make as much money as you possibly can or be a good wife and mother to your family. However, this does not have to be at the expense of your health and happiness. You need to stay healthy and happy for you to continue being there for people that matter to you and massage is one way of achieving this.
6. Eat Properly
After getting a professional massage, your metabolism, circulation, and other body functions will be very good. As a result, you may feel very hungry or very thirsty after the massage since the body has already worked on what you had taken earlier. Take some time to reefed and hydrate after your massage.
Though you may be tempted to eat anything that comes your way after leaving the spa, it would be right to take a balanced diet. Eat food that will benefit your body and avoid anything that will have a negative impact on your health.
Get Ready for Emotional Moments
After leaving the massage spa, you may experience a mixture of emotions as a result of what your body has been holding on to. There are times you will feel happy, refreshed or energetic and other times when you will feel sad. This is a normal occurrence as your body adjusts to what has just happened.
Massage will help in lowering cortisol levels as it increases the level of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. When this happens, you will most likely feel the need to release the deep emotions you have been hiding behind the smile which could make you cry. This is quite healthy as it will make you feel much better afterward.
Book Your Next Massage Appointment
To keep reaping the benefits of massage therapy, you need to get regular massage based on the budget you have set aside for the same. This can be weekly, biweekly or even monthly according to how your body responds to the massage. The massage therapist will help you to make the right schedule for your massage and get maximum benefits from the same.
Though the massage therapist is trained and has enough experience to make you feel better and be in better health, he is not an all-round expert. If there is an issue in your life that will not go away regardless of the frequent massages, get the help of an expert.
If you had a deep tissue massage, it is normal for your muscles to feel sour before your body adjusts. You can apply some ice packs to ease the tenderness and speed up the healing process. You can also do some few stretches to enhance the flow of blood to all parts of your body.
If you have any concerns after your massage appointment, get in touch with your massage therapist. He will provide the solution you really need and ensure that you get maximum benefits from your massage. You may feel sour after your first massage but with time, it will get better as your body will adjust to the therapy.

Couples Massage in Clearfield Utah
Getting a professional couple’s massage is a great way of bringing back the lost romance. It is a moment when your feelings will get rekindled and you forget the hurt you’ve subjected each other. The connection you once felt when together will happen all over again and this will make you a better couple. Here are some of the things that make a couple’s massage romantic:
It does not happen every day
As a couple, you don’t book a couple’s massage every day and this is what makes the experience romantic. For most couples, they will book a couples massage on special occasions to make the event memorable. it could be a birthday, wedding anniversary, or valentine’s day among other occasions.
Sharing special moments will bring you closer and will rekindle the flames you thought died a long time ago.
A couple’s massage will release some feel-good hormones like Oxytocin
When you get a professional massage, it will not only help you to relax but will also awaken some great feelings. The release of oxytocin and other love hormones will arouse the deep feelings in both parties. As a result, the couple will feel more attached to each other than they were before going for a couple’s massage.
The Setting
When you book other types of massage, you’ll be in a room with the massage therapist alone. With a couple’s massage, however, you will both be in the same room and you’ll get the massage concurrently. During the massage, there are times when the massage therapists will engage in choreographed massage techniques.  This experience will rekindle your closeness as a couple and this makes a couples massage special.
To make the experience more romantic, the massage therapist can play soft romantic music as the massage is ongoing. This will make the couple to concentrate more on the massage and forget every other thing that has been straining your relationship.
If your partner has never had a massage, this is a great way of introducing her to the massage world.
It is possible that your partner has always desired to get a massage but is afraid of taking the initiative alone. Booking a couple’s massage is a great way to introduce her to massage therapy without the fear that something could go wrong. Your partner will be happy that you care enough to spend quality time helping her to know all about massage therapy.
To make it more romantic and easier for her, you can hold her hand during the massage or engage in a conversation.
Tips to Make Your Couple’s Massage More Romantic
1. Switch off your phones
When getting a couple’s massage, you need to focus all your attention on your massage. By switching off your phones, there will be no chances of getting distracted during the massage. You’ll shut out the rest of the world from your lives for the few moments and this will make the experience more romantic.
You can give the massage therapist your phones so that he can charge them as you are getting the massage. Once you are through with the massage, you can then catch up on what you missed when your phones were off.
2. Do not take too much food before the couple’s massage
To enjoy your romantic experience during a couple’s massage, you need to be as comfortable as possible. If you go to the spa on a full stomach, you will be very uncomfortable during the massage especially when lying on your belly. If you must eat before a couple’s massage, take a light meal and reserve your heavy meal until after the massage.
3. Avoid taking alcoholic drinks before the massage
Since it is your special day out, you may be tempted to share a bottle of wine to make the day memorable. However, this should not be done before going for your couple’s massage as it will interfere with your sense of judgment. Waiting until you are through with your massage to share some wine is the better option.
4. Discuss whether you want to talk or remain silent during your couples massage
There are instances when one of you may want to talk throughout the massage and the other wants to remain silent. To avoid going through some awkward moments where one of you will snap at the other, agree what you really want. If you agree to remain quiet and enjoy the massage, every party should respect that.
5. Choose massage techniques that best suits your massage needs
Though you booked your massage as a couple, you still reserve the right to choose the massage techniques that you want. One of you may want a deep tissue massage while the other wants a soft massage. When you both get what works for you, you’ll be able to enjoy your time together after the massage.
6. Choose either a male or a female massage therapist before your appointment
A couple’s massage can never be romantic if you feel awkward with the massage therapist working on you. To avoid such instances, you need to choose your preferred gender of the massage therapist. This will make you comfortable during the massage and will make the experience more fulfilling.
7. Undress up to the level you are most comfortable
When getting a couple’s massage, being comfortable matters a lot. If you are not comfortable with removing all your clothes, take off only what you are comfortable with. This will make the experience more romantic. However, you should know that massage therapists are professionals and will never do anything that will humiliate you. His touch on your body is professional and he will not do anything that will compromise your dignity.
There are spas that will allow you to use facilities such as a steam bath before going for your massage. You can take advantage of this and take a shower together which will make the experience more romantic. Remember that this is only possible if you arrive earlier than the appointed time for your massage.
Nothing makes your special moments memorable as a couple than having a couple’s massage. When everything else including your children, job, and other problems is secondary and all that matters is you. It will not only make you get fonder of each other but it will also help to heal the wounds from past disagreements. Choose a professional spa where you have a guarantee of getting the best services so that you can get the most from your massage experience.

Massage as a Back Pain Management Option

7/8/2019

Back Pain Management in Massage
​When Jean Anderson fell off the stairs three years ago, she had no idea how this would affect her life. The back pain she suffered as a result of the fall had made it impossible for her to continue working or even take care of her family. When she visited her therapist at the beginning of the year, he suggested she look for a professional massage therapist to find out if this would ease the pain. The pain medications were no longer working and life was getting more difficult.
With only 2 weeks of massage therapy, Jean is no longer using pain medications and she is finally able to spend time with her family. If this progresses, she will soon be able to go back to work and continue with her life, just like she did before the accident happened.
Massage therapy is one of the pill-free methods of relieving chronic or minor pains on your back. It can provide the healing and relief from that lower back pain you’ve been suffering from for years. To achieve this, however, you need to get a massage therapist that knows the right muscles to target during the massage and the best techniques to use.
How Often Should I Get a Massage for Back Pain?
If your back pain is very new and has only affected a single area on your back, it is possible that two or three massage sessions will help to ease the pain. However, if you have been suffering from back pain for years or has affected several parts of your back, you may have to wait for about 4 weeks to feel some relief.
In the event that you do not feel an improvement after this duration, it would be prudent to visit your doctor for further checkup. It is possible that there could be other underlying health issues such as arthritis that needs to be addressed to give you the relief you are looking for.
At the beginning of your back pain massage therapy, the massage therapist may recommend more sessions maybe twice every week. However, as you continue getting better, the massage therapist will lessen the massage sessions until you are completely free from pain.
How Will I Choose the Right Massage Therapist for My Back Pain Management?
Choosing a massage therapist for your back pain management is important if you want to get fast relief. You need a therapist who does not only have proper training on massage but vast experience in back pain massage therapy as well. You can ask for recommendations from your doctor or from people that have suffered from back pain and found relief in massage therapy.
The best way to find out if a massage therapist is good enough is by checking what his past clients say regarding his treatment. You can ask your friends, family, or people that have suffered from a problem similar to yours to recommend a good massage therapist.
A good massage therapist will not just use one approach in the treatment. He will customize the massage sessions based on your needs and keep changing the techniques until he gets what works for you.
When you strain your muscle, there is a tear that forms in your muscles and when it heals, the scar tissue may not conform to your muscles. This may lead to the malfunctioning of your muscles leading to intense pain every time you try to move the back muscles. Massage therapy will help in re-aligning the scarred tissues and make them strong enough to function just like before.
How Long Do the Effects of Massage Therapy Last?
One of the greatest fears that people have in regards to massage for back pain relief is that they will have to do this for the rest of their lives. They are afraid that as soon as they stop going for massage therapy, they will lose the relief they had achieved as a result of the massage.
When you go for a back pain management massage, the massage therapist will work on relieving the tension in your muscles that is causing the pain. As a result of this process, lactic acid will be released and this may lead to discomfort. To get relief from this discomfort, a professional massage therapist will advise you to take a lot of water to flush out the toxins from your muscles.
He will also recommend that you keep stretching your back muscles so that you can retain their flexibility. As you continue to get relief, the massage therapist may also advise you to engage in minimal strengthening exercises that will not only make you flexible but prevent future injuries.
You need to remain active after the massage if you want to keep enjoying the benefits from your massage therapy. Since your back is still recovering, it is important to ensure that you don’t overdo the stretching or the exercises as this may worsen your condition. The massage therapist will advise you on the best exercises that will not only be beneficial but those that will hasten your healing process.
Is Back Pain Management Expensive?
This is another major concern for most of the people seeking massage therapy as a back pain treatment option. They are afraid that they will not be able to meet the high cost of massage but this does not have to be the case. There are some health insurance plans that cover massage that is recommended by a medical professional. To enjoy this benefit, you can ask your doctor to include massage therapy as a part of your treatment and in doing this, your massage costs will be catered for by the insurance company.
You don’t have to live in pain as a result of a back injury or keep taking pain medications that cause more harm than good. Massage therapy is a pill-free method of getting relief from back pain whether chronic or minor whose benefits will last for a long time. All you need is to ensure that you get the trained and experienced massage therapist who is really good at what he does.

How Massage Benefits Your Brain

7/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Brain benefits from Massage
When going to the spa for a professional massage, you already know that you will get immense benefits from the process. You will be able to sleep better, get relief from pains and overcome depression, among other benefits. Do you know that massage therapy will have multiple benefits to your brain as well?
To help you understand how beneficial massage therapy is to your brain, we’ll look at the hormones that control your mood.
Serotonin
This is a neurotransmitter that is secreted in your brain to help in regulating hunger, mood, sleep, and your general well-being. When you get a massage, it will lead to an increased release of serotonin which will have a positive impact on your mood. This is the hormone that will make you fall asleep when getting a massage.
If you have recently suffered from tissue trauma, the serotonin hormone will help in speeding up the recovery process. The increased level of serotonin in your body as a result of the massage will help you to recover faster from any injury that occurs after the massage. If you normally take too long to recover when wounded, it is time to book your massage therapy so that you can boost this healing hormone in your body.
Oxytocin
Do you feel like your feelings for your significant other are not as strong as they were before? You feel as though you’ve become too distant and that you no longer care for each other as much as you did before? Getting a gentle and soothing massage would help! Oxytocin, which is also referred to as the love hormone increases that feeling of closeness and love. You love life will be rekindled by getting a gentle couple’s massage in a professional spa. As the aesthetician works on relaxing your bodies, you can look into the eyes of your significant other and remember all the wonderful memories you’ve built together. As the oxytocin level rises, your feelings for each other will be restored and just like a nursing mother and her child, your bond will be unbreakable once again.
Dopamine
You love to feel good and in control? Well, getting a professional massage releases the dopamine hormone that makes you feel so good, just like you would after having great sex or even taking your favorite glass of wine. You don’t have to use drugs that can harm your body to feel good when you can get the same feeling from a massage. If you want to know how real this is, get yourself a professional massage today.
Epinephrine & norepinephrine
There are stress or violence-inducing hormones that are not very beneficial to you. One of the ways you can reduce their levels in your body is by getting a massage. The relaxation you’ll experience from your massage will lower your heart rate, stabilize your blood pressure, and speed up the glucose metabolism in your body. When all this happens, you will no longer have the urge to become violent or even get stressed. The massage will make you calmer and this will allow you to make sober judgments when dealing with issues.
Cortisol
This is another stress-inducing hormone that makes your blood vessels constrict and if this is not sorted fast, your blood pressure will rise to abnormal levels. The increase in this hormone in your body will also lower your defense ability against viral infections and the ability to heal from wounds. When you get a massage, the cortisol levels in your body will reduce and as a result, you will no longer feel stressed. Your immunity will also get a boost and as a result, you will be able to overcome viral infections and recover from wounds faster. To make it even better, your immune system will get a boost which will prevent you from suffering from any infection that comes your way.
Type of Massage that can Boost Your Brain
Aromatherapy Massage
There are some essential oils such as lavender that are known to relax, re-energize, and bring back the balance in your body. The massage therapist will choose the best essential oils to use based on your needs. Whether you feel tired, stressed, pains in your body or you have a headache, among other issues, there is the right essential oil for you!
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stone massage is one of the massage techniques that will help in easing the tension in your muscles. The massage therapist will place the preheated stones on different parts of your body to help in boosting your energy levels and relieving your muscles of all tightness and pressure. If you feel a lot of tension in your body and want some light massage, a hot stone massage will be a great choice.
Thai Massage
During a Thai massage, the therapist will exert gentle pressure on some parts of your body. He will also stretch and move your body in different postures just like what happens during yoga with the only difference being you will not need to do anything. At the end of this massage, you will be more energetic, more flexible, and your stress levels will greatly reduce.
Swedish Massage
This is one of the most common types of massage in the US. The massage therapist will use smooth strokes, circular motions, and some kneading on your superficial muscles. The massage will make you more relaxed since it is very gentle to your body.
If this is the first time you are going for a professional massage, a Swedish massage will be a great way to start you off.
There is no limit to the benefits your brain will get from a massage if you will get it from a trained and experienced massage therapist. He will know the technique that will work best for you based on what you really need and the results you want to achieve. You don’t have to take medications or toxic substances every time you are undergoing a stressful situation when you can get the relief you want from a good massage. Book your massage today and experience the reality of all the benefits we mentioned above and more!

Pregnancy Massage in Clearfield
Sciatica, which refers to the pain in the sciatic nerve that affects the lower back, hips, buttocks, and the legs is one of the health issues that affect pregnant women. In most cases, sciatica occurs on one side of the body and can either be severe or mild. Some of the symptoms of this health issue are numbness, weakness in the leg or tingling on the affected part of the body.
Being pregnant alone is enough to make you unable to carry on with your daily chores and when you have sciatica, the condition becomes worse. You find it difficult to walk, stand or even sit.
Massage is one of the most effective non-medicinal ways of relieving pain resulting from sciatica. According to a recent study, massage is as effective in relieving pain as anti-inflammatory medications. It will sooth the tense muscles and in doing this, the pressure on the sciatic nerve will lessen or completely disappear.
Endorphins, which are pressure-boosting and pain-relieving hormones will be released as a result of a massage and this will further make you feel better. You will feel a lot better which will make it possible for you to carry your pregnancy to terms.
What is the Best Type of Massage for Sciatica During Pregnancy?

You need to ensure that the massage oil that will be used during the massage is safe and will not lead to pre-term labor. If you are in a professional spa, you’ll not need to worry about this as the massage therapist knows the best essential for pregnancy massage.
Are there Additional Benefits I Will get from Pregnancy Massage?
In addition to getting rid of sciatica pain, here are the other benefits you will get from a pregnancy massage:

Amazing Benefits of Massage for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Deep Tissue Massage Clearfield
​When was the last time you took time to concentrate on yourself? In life, it is at times very difficult to put think of yourself first and everything else to follow thereafter. You keep saying that tomorrow will be your day where you’ll just concentrate on you but when the day comes, you find yourself overburdened by too many worries. Before you know it, the day you had dedicated to ‘you time’ is over!
Chronic fatigue is one ailment that most people have suffered from at one point in life. There are people that will luckily get over the fatigue after getting a good rest. For some, however, the fatigue may get worse and result in chronic fatigue Syndrome (CFS). You feel extremely tired without any valid reason and even when you try to get some rest, the condition does not improve. You may also experience muscle pains, insomnia, headache, and sore throat, among other symptoms. It is unfortunate that there is no known cure for chronic fatigue syndrome today and all you can do is to treat the symptoms.
Massage is among the most recommended ways of treating chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms that do not have any side effects. A professional massage will help to ease the pain, minimize anxiety or restlessness, and make you sleep better. If you have a condition that cannot allow you to engage in strenuous physical exercises, getting a professional massage will give all the benefits you’d have gotten from the physical exercise.
Here are some of the techniques that the massage therapist will use to provide relief from chronic fatigue:
Deep Tissue Massage
In this type of massage, the therapist will use techniques that will reach the muscle tissues below your skin’s surface. He will use intense pressure and slow movements so that he can stimulate every capillary in your soft tissues. It will also help in enhancing the circulation of blood in your body which will also help in reducing the fatigue.
Deep tissue massage is an intense massage technique that should only be carried out by a professional. He will know the right pressure to use based on your physical health so that he does cause any injuries to your body during the massage. If you were previously involved in an accident that resulted in scarring, a deep tissue massage will break up the scar tissues and with time, the scam may get completely healed.
Swedish Massage
If you have not had massage before it would be right to start with a light massage such as the Swedish massage. It will help in soothing the fatigued muscles and restore their elasticity. If you have an existing injury, the Swedish massage will help in relaxing your muscles and get rid of the kinks. Another benefit you will get from the massage is the lowering of your stress levels and a better flow of blood in your body. You will be able to get a good night’s sleep after your massage since you will be more relaxed and pain-free as well.
Aromatherapy Massage
Chronic fatigue will make you extra sensitive emotionally and at times even physical. Getting a gentle, slow, and a relaxing aromatherapy massage will help in getting rid of your anxiety and the physical signs of chronic fatigue complication. The professional massage therapist will use the best essential oils that will completely get rid of the chronic fatigue symptoms.
Here are the Benefits of Massage for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Eases Muscle Tension
When suffering from chronic fatigue, it is not unusual to suffer from muscle tension which, in turn, puts your body in constant stress. The tension will lead to fatigue that will make it impossible for you to carry out your duties. Getting a professional massage will help in relaxing the muscles and relieve you from every strain. You will be more at ease and more energetic instead of feeling drained and helpless.
Helps in Overcoming Insomnia
Among the greatest discomforts you will suffer as a result of chronic fatigue is the inability to sleep properly. You will be unable to relax your muscles which will subject you to constant stress and due to this, you will be too exhausted to sleep. When you get a massage, the symptoms of chronic fatigue will be greatly reduced and this will allow you to get enough sleep. You should make it a habit to have a good massage so that you can get better sleep.
Aids in Releasing Toxins
As you carry on with your daily chores including taking your meals, your body will be subjected to numerous toxins some of which will find their way into your body. Over time, the toxins will become too much leading to unending fatigue as your body tries to excrete these toxins. Getting a massage will help in releasing the toxins from your muscles and later, they will be excreted out of your body. You need to take plenty of water before and after the massage to help in eliminating the toxins. If you don’t do this, these toxins will find their way into the bloodstream, leading to more severe side effects.
You Will Become More Active
A professional massage will not only lighten your mood but will also make you more energetic. You may not have the strength to engage in rigorous exercises as a result of the chronic fatigue but getting a massage will enable you to get the benefits you’d have achieved by exercising. The lack of pain in your body and the enlightened mood will make it possible for you to achieve what you previously thought was too difficult.
Chronic fatigue syndrome may have no cure at the moment but this does not mean there is nothing you can do to improve your condition. A professional massage is one of the best remedies that will help in easing the fatigue, pain, and insomnia, among other signs of chronic fatigue. The massage therapist will use techniques that will boost your mood and make you more energetic and as a result, you will be able to live free from chronic fatigue symptoms.
