A full body massage session usually last one hour. This gives enough time to relax the body and address specific problems. A half-hour massage session can be used to massage or address problems in the legs, lower back, and neck areas. After massage you should feel relaxed. Give yourself time to slowly get up.
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. Massage is an accumulative process, and the more often that you receive a massage the better, and longer lasting results you will get. I recomend at least once a month for maintenance purposes, and more often if you are injured or very stressed. Massage Therapy and Insurance Massage therapy coverage by insurance companies is an ongoing struggle among clients, insurance industry and massage therapists. As of now, only car accident and worker's compensation insurance, and major medical insurance will usually cover massage therapy if prescribed by a primary care physician.
