What is a massage?
There are several types of massage that focus on different parts of the body or healing approaches. Massage is the practice of rubbing and kneading the body using the hands. During a massage, at Look Good & Feel Amazing a certified massage therapist will apply gentle or strong pressure to the muscles and joints of the body to ease pain and tension. We use tool to make it more relapsing for you or to help to loosen the mussels . A certified massage therapist is a person that's trained to giving massages.
Many people ask what is the difference between Therapeutic Massage, also know a Medical Massage, and a massage that you can get at a local massage parlor or spa. Therapeutic Massage is specifically directed by medical providers to treat the specific areas of concern, whether it is sciatica, disk herniation ,sports injury or Arthritis . This is not just a massage to feel good. It is specifically designed to relieve pain, help promote healing and correct the problems that you are experiencing. This is the major difference and why it is of such importance to receive therapeutic massage rather than a general massage where someone isn’t aware of your medical history, medications, surgeries or x-ray findings. We are working side to side with your doctors .
It's Fine to Get NakedWe get that it can be a little uncomfortable to strip down to your birthday suit in front of someone you’ve never met, but really, it's totally normal. Remember, massage therapists are trained professionals and your undressing can actually lead to a better appointment. Some of the massage's / Therapeutic Massage you can level your close on .

Remember to BreatheEspecially when your massage therapist is working out a particularly bad knot, it can be tempting to tense up a little bit and hold your breath. Don't do this, or you may miss out on one of the major benefits “It’s crucial that you breathe fully and deeply when difficult areas are being worked on so as to oxygenate your blood supply and aid tense muscles, if it to painful please tell us
Drink a Ton of Water After Your AppointmentIt's especially important to hydrate post-massage. "Therefore, drinking plenty of water post-massage is very helpful in rehydration, building healthy muscle tissue, and removing metabolic wastes that accumulate as your muscles are worked out.”A Warm Shower Before is a Great IdeaFor the best possible rubdown, it’s important to take care of yourself before you step foot in the spa. The easiest and most relaxing way to prep? A long, hot shower. “The relaxation effect of a warm shower on both the mind and the muscles will help you be less tense during the session, which will benefit you as well as the therapist . "Also, being and feeling clean can help mitigate body insecurities if they come into play. Remember we are in panama and a lot of us love a massage on the beach , there are always sand all over your body that is way we use the wipes to get all the sand off .
Request Your Preferred Massage Style When You ScheduleThere’s nothing worse than leaving the spa feeling, well, meh. While they’re trained to help your body, massage therapists can’t read your mind, so make sue you tell us if you have any preference of therapists, pressure, or massage types when you book your appointment. This will help ensure you’re matched with someone who will be able to best for you
Be Strategic About TimingWhile there's no perfect hour to schedule a massage, you still probably want to consider the timing of your appointment. To do this, think about what makes sense for you and your schedule. "Some people feel invigorated from receiving massage and like to make this the start to their days, while others like to eliminate stress from work and life with massage after a long day, and relax in knowing their ‘off the clock . "You know your body better than any therapist, so trust your instincts!”
Avoid Eating Right BeforeGenerally, a full meal right before you hit the spa is a no-go, as massage certainly stimulates digestion. “I would suggest eating lightly right before a massage, and having a meal a few hours prior, "Of course, don’t starve yourself in the preceding hours, as you may feel dizzy or light headed during the massage as a result, but eating lightly one to two hours beforehand will allow for digestion while not making you feel uncomfortably full."
Speak UpIt may seem out of place to tell your massage therapist to do “more of this” or “less of that,” but that's exactly what they want you to do. In fact, the worst thing you can do is say, "I just want a good massage . “During the massage, you shouldn’t be afraid to tell your therapist if something we doing is uncomfortable, the pressure is not right, or if you have a question about what he is doing. Be sure to ask us to spend more time on a certain area if that is what you want—at the end of the session is too late .
One Rubdown Every Few Years Isn't Going to Do MuchWhen it comes to massage, “less is more” definitely does not apply. While one massage can certainly help, it packs the greatest benefits over time. “Massage therapy should be considered part of a long-term wellness routine . It’s best to get a massage as frequently as possible, even if it's once a month or once every weeks. All your muscle tightness and pains can never be totally worked out, as you’re constantly living, breathing, and moving your body, but getting your muscles loosened as a tune up seriously helps diminish injury.
Drinking caffeineIf you book an early-morning massage session, be sure to drink your morning coffee before, not after, your bodywork. “Drinking caffeine after a massage cantense the muscles just worked on, so it's best to avoid if possible and try herbal tea or water instead.
