Massage Tips: If possible, rest or take a walk after a massage to allow some time to adjust to your new relaxed state. This often helps get the most out of a massage.
Cost of massage: Donations to the Therapeutic Massage Program for program and student development will are gratefully accepted. Due to Phoenix city ordinances, a practicing massage student can not accept compensation of any kind.
During the massage: · If the massage is too light or too hard, ask to have the pressure changed. Some massages are only light (Lymphatic, CranioScral, etc.) but asking is appropriate. · If you are uncomfortable (need heat turned up, less blankets, light moved), say something. · Tell the practitioner where you hurt. This way the massage can focus on where you need it most. · Spending time during the massage being grateful can help one make huge changes. · Often breathing deeply can help you get the most out of a massage. Breathe into every cell of your body. · Combining either aromatherapy or flower essences can enable even more change if so desired.
After the massage: · Drink lots of water. This helps the body release toxins that you were able to release during the massage. · Plan to take the first 20 minutes after a massage lightly. For example, go on a short walk or sit quietly. This allows the massage to settle into the body. · After many massages, a nice warm bath is very refreshing. |
