Note: Today I'm at Ophelia's Cup (11-3) for chair massages and gift certificate pickups. The earliest available appointment is midday next Monday.
ACTUAL CLIENT: 90 minutes (deep tissue)
Last year a new client scheduled this session: neck, back, and shoulders. The following week I received a thank you note and bouquet of flowers. This person had not experienced a day without pain for quite some time.
My focus since 2007 has been targeted and therapeutic massage. It's nice to be "pampered," but most people schedule an appointment for a specific reason: usually a medical condition or stress relief.
Three out of four people cited at least of these one reasons for receiving massage therapy according to the American Massage Therapy Association:
- pain relief (#1 reason for massage)
- stiffness or spasms
- injury recovery
- stress relief
- migraines
- prevention
- general well-being
Is there anything wrong with being pampered?
No. Some of my clients would love to have a "pamper" type of massage after experiencing vigorous (and sometimes painful!) friction to post-surgery scars or firmly pressure on their congested sinuses during facial acupressure. I don't injure clients (my motto: do no harm), but not every therapy I offer is comfortable to receive.
