Massage places near you

Massage treatments are vast and stretch across the spectrum from basic to more intricate. There are also different types of massages that fix specific knicks and tension spots, like sports massages or reflexology. Some massage studios offer all the types, from basic foot or head massage to the full-on Swedish massage or aromatherapy treatments. Others are more industry specific, like sports massage studios or Thai massage studios. What to expect during massage? Before receiving your massage treatment, the masseuse will ask a few questions to understand your primary concerns. If you’ve booked for a head or foot massage, you won’t be asked to undress. However, if you’re getting something like a back or full body massage, you’ll be asked to undress privately and lay on your stomach with your face down in the head rest. Therapists use a method called draping to cover you up during your massage. Depending on your level of sensitivity and any skin conditions, the therapist will use a few different massage oils or lotions to assist in treating those trigger points. How to find the best massage therapist? Looking for the perfect massage therapist can often be as overwhelming as getting your first treatment and not knowing what to expect.

It’s important to realise what your core concerns are and treat them accordingly. For example, if you’ve been on your feet for too long and struggle to walk without pain, perhaps a foot massage would release some tension. But if you’ve been experiencing tension in various parts of your body, especially your back, therapists usually recommend the most popular treatment, a Swedish massage. Understanding what your body needs and what level of pressure you are comfortable with also helps the therapist in giving you the best type of treatment.  How do I make an appointment for a massage?
