Your therapist will help you understand that ultimately your body has the capacity to heal itself and will work with you to learn how you can become part of this process. Massage on healthy tissue feels good. Working on an area of injury or chronic pain may cause some amount of pain or discomfort, which will usually lessen shortly. You should always feel relaxed and comfortable during the massage. After massage, you should feel relaxed.
Many people experience freedom from pain and aches that have built over months of tension.
After an initial period of feeling slowed down, many people experience an increase in energy that can last for days. At the beginning, two to three sessions a week apart are the best to give us maximum benefits as every massage session accumulates the gains from previous sessions. After that, about once a month seems to be the most beneficial for massage to keep its positive effects. Great ideas for birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas among other special times. A massage session may be a half-hour or an hour in length.
