Frequently Asked Questions about massage
What is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage is a hands-on therapy that uses skillful
and focused touch by the therapist for the purpose of healing
and relaxation. The therapist may employ specialized healing
techniques such as neuromuscular, trigger point, cranial/structural,
Reiki and deep tissue therapies or traditional massage techniques
such as stroking and kneading.
Why choose massage therapy for healing?
Massage therapy is a natural therapy that has numerous positive
effects and benefits from stress relief and injury healing,
to rejuvenation and prevention. It is one of the oldest and
effective therapies known to man. Massage stimulates many
body systems to optimize function and normalize body tissues.
It is also very effective at reducing anxiety and generating
feelings of well-being. Many people choose massage therapy
as an aid to their regular health maintenance.
What is my part as a client?
As a client, in order to receive optimum benefit from your
treatment, you should remain relaxed and receptive. Your therapist
does all the work.
What does a massage feel like?
Clients commonly experience physical pleasure during the treatment
since therapeutic massage stimulates blood circulation, releases
natural hormones called endorphins into your bloodstream and
activates the parasympathetic nervous system. It is important
to understand that sexual touch is never practiced or appropriate
in this professional setting. However, healing touch communicates
care and compassion.
Are sheets or towels used for my privacy?
Your comfort and privacy are of primary importance in the
massage session. You will be draped appropriately at all times.
The body part to be massaged is uncovered and then recovered
during the session. Skillful tucking of sheets will prevent
inadvertently exposing you improperly.
Am I expected to talk during a session?
Whether, and how much, talking occurs during a massage session
depends on the purpose of the session and your particular
needs. When relaxation is a primary goal, talking should be
kept to a minimum. Silence allows you to sink further into
a relaxed state. For muscular healing, it is encouraged that
you give your therapist feedback if you would like to pinpoint
the precise location of a trigger point in a muscle or if
you prefer a deeper or lighter touch.
How long is a massage session?
A general wellness or healing massage session is one-hour
long.
Other
Healing Therapies with June Sitler, LMT
Cranial/Structural Therapy releases soft
tissue restrictions of the normal cranial motion and promotes
optimal structural alignment.
Cranial/Structural Therapy normalizes the relationship of
one cranial bone to another, releasing restrictions of the
soft tissue and underlying membranes, allowing for a remodeling
and balancing of the craniosacral system. This process can
lead to long-term pain relief and rehabilitation for those
suffering from a pelvic or cranial distortion pattern. The
freeing of soft tissue restrictions may also precipitate a
freeing of corresponding emotions that facilitates healing
on more subtle levels.
Cranial/Structual Therapy is most effective when integrated
with deep tissue massage therapy to address intermediate shifts
in soft tissue holding patterns or with Reiki Therapy to help
promote emotional healing through stimulation of the meridian
system.
Reiki Therapy is an ancient, holistic healing
art that uses a technique of light touch to stimulate the
active force in the body’s meridian channels.
As the subtle energy in the meridian system flows more freely,
physical and emotional tensions spontaneously release. Following
a treatment, the recipient typically experiences a sensation
of emotional peace and heightened awareness, accompanied by
renewed energy and clarity.
