What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that offers a wide range of benefits. While technology has done wonders for modern health and wellness, massage therapy is the perfect example of the power of time-honored practices. 

This approach uses various manual techniques to manipulate the skin and underlying tissues. Some strokes are long and flowing, while others deliver more intense pressure to a small area of focus. 

At Dragon Healthcare Services and Med Spa, practitioners bring extensive massage training and experience to these treatment sessions. The process is entirely customized to meet your current treatment needs and goals. 

What are the benefits of massage therapy?

When most people think of a professional massage, they envision a spa-like setting and a deeply relaxing experience. While it’s true that a massage can be incredibly relaxing, a therapeutic massage also offers a number of powerful benefits. 

Some of the benefits of massage therapy include:

• Reducing pain
• Improving circulation
• Boosting energy
• Reducing stress
• Lowering your heart rate and blood pressure
• Improving immune function

Once you experience the effects of a professional therapeutic massage, you might begin to make routine massage therapy a part of your ongoing wellness planning. 

How should I prepare for my massage therapy sessions?

Your body is unique, and you come in for massage therapy with a distinct set of needs and goals. Clearly communicate what you hope to achieve from your massage. This information gives your practitioner insight into how to create an experience that meets or exceeds your expectations. 

You should feel free to communicate during the massage if you find the pressure is too light or too intense. Your practitioner can focus on specific areas of your body or perform a massage that covers your back, shoulders, neck, arms, and legs. You should also let your provider know if you have any current health conditions or recent injuries or illnesses. 

When you arrive for your massage, undress to your level of comfort. Except for the area currently being worked on, your body remains draped throughout the massage, so you’ll be covered and warm from start to finish.
