Massage Guide for Consumers
What to Expect During a Massage
When you go for a massage, you can anticipate the following:
- Initial Consultation: Your massage therapist will start by asking about your reasons for seeking a massage. They'll gather background information on your physical condition, medical history, lifestyle, stress levels, and any areas of pain.
- Health Goals Discussion: You’ll discuss your health objectives and how massage might help you achieve them.
- Comfort and Privacy: For a one-on-one massage, you'll be asked to undress to your comfort level. Note that clothing is not removed during chair massages.
Tips for Choosing a Qualified Massage Therapist
To ensure you receive the best care, consider these questions when selecting a therapist:
- Are you licensed to practice massage? (35 states have regulations in place)
- Are you a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA)?
- Are you Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork?
Massage: A Path to Pain Relief
For many Americans, managing pain involves frequent doctor visits, medications, and disrupted sleep. Have you considered massage as an option?
According to the American Hospital Association, 82% of hospitals offering complementary or alternative care use massage therapy. Among these, 70% specifically use massage for managing and relieving pain.
A survey by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) indicates that more individuals are turning to massage for pain relief. Nearly 47% of those surveyed sought massage to alleviate pain.
Clinical Benefits of Massage Therapy
Research demonstrates several therapeutic benefits of massage, including:
- More effective relief for chronic back pain compared to other therapies.
- Reduced pain and anxiety for cancer patients.
- Better headache relief than cold pack treatments for post-traumatic conditions.
- Decreased pain and muscle spasms after heart bypass surgery when included in hospital care.
- Increased production of endorphins, enhancing mood.
- Boosted confidence in coping with pain.
If you suffer from chronic pain, discuss with your doctor the possibility of incorporating massage into your pain management plan. Ensure the therapist is trained and preferably a member of the AMTA.
