I am proficient in all types of massage. I believe that massage comes from pure energy. My sessions are generally very pleasant, and we do not even notice the concept of time. I am here for a pleasant session, where are you? I am waiting...
The name "medical massage" is used for targeted massage work focused on a particular area or complaint. It is not a health service or medical treatment; the massage therapist does not diagnose and does not recommend medication or a treatment plan. Depending on the area you discuss before the session, techniques such as classic massage, deep tissue, trigger point work and stretching may be chosen. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) describes clinical massage as massage aimed at specific goals, such as releasing a muscle spasm. It also matters to tell your therapist about your health, the medication you take and any surgery you have had before the session; the scope of the session depends on it. If you have a health problem, see your doctor first; do not use massage in its place.
Sessions usually last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area of focus. Cleveland Clinic gives about 50 minutes as a typical massage session.
It suits people who feel tension in a particular area, for example the neck, shoulders or lower back, and want a relaxation session focused on that area. This session does not replace treatment.
People with undiagnosed pain, fever, swelling, numbness or an open wound should see a doctor first. Those who take blood thinners, have a history of leg clots, osteoporosis or a tumor, and those who had recent surgery should not start without talking to their doctor.
At the start you describe your complaint, sensitive areas and the medication you take. The therapist chooses techniques suited to that area and, when needed, also works the surrounding muscles. You can ask for the pressure to change at any time. At the end the therapist does not diagnose or recommend treatment; if your symptoms continue, you need to see your doctor.
