How to pick your therapist
1. Decide on a level of therapist that fits your budget.
- Level 1: ($40) Therapists that are just starting their careers.
- Level 2: ($50) Intermediate therapists who are perfecting their craft.
- Level 3: ($60) Advanced therapists who are proven in the market.
2. Decide on a style of massage that fits your needs.
- Relaxation: I am looking for a full body session with lighter pressure that is stress relieving, and flowing. Since it is my goal to drift off the table I don't enjoy too much chatting about my day. By the end of the session I want to be fully relaxed and have my mind and body reconnected.
- Deep Tissue: I prefer deeper pressure because that is what truly relaxes me. I may have one specific issue to work on, but my goal is to get as much full body as possible. Talking about technical massage aspects during and after my session is always okay with me.
- Treatment: I am not looking for a full body massage, I am getting massage because I have a few concerns that I would like to get specific work on. I'm okay with taking a little pain, as long as it's part of the therapist's treatment plan. I definitely want to talk to my therapist about my concerns and what I can do at home to help maintain the progress we've made in session.
- Sports: I am an athlete or very active person that is looking for a therapist who is specifically trained in sports and understands my needs. I might be training for an event, recovering from an injury, or just needing to recover from today's workout. I'm interested in how massage can help and be incorporated into my training schedule.
- Prenatal: I am pregnant and looking for a therapist that is specifically trained in prenatal and understands my needs. I could be in any stage of my pregnancy or may have just had my baby; either way I am looking for someone that can support and help me through every phase. It is very important that the therapist has the necessary table and equipment that allow me to be completely comfortable in session.
