I may be biased but I think getting regular massage (at least once a month) is probably the best thing anyone can do for themselves. I'm a massage therapist but I've been receiving massage longer than I've been giving it. It's so good for you physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Anybody else with me on this or have any great massage experience's to share?
i couldnt agree more. im no therapist, but i like to give massages, and the therapist ive given them too say i do damn fine job. unfortunately i been all alone(no friends or steady lover) for about 6 years now, i dont think iv had a good massage in all that time. but i still like to give them. i liek to make people feel good.
I've only been to a massage therapist once, but it was AWESOME. I've had plenty of other ones, but nothing compared to that! It was on my last birthday and I don't think I've ever been that relaxed. I can only imagine how soothing it would be to get it done regularly.
It is hard to get them on a regular basis because they tend to be pricey (hey us therapists gotta make a living) or you could do a trade. Most massage therapists love to do trades! Heck, I've traded for other massages, jewelry, concert tickets, artwork, etc. It's out there, the point is that once you make it a regular part of your life, it really can be a life changing thing.
I've been a massage therapist for 8 years now and even though I don't make massage therapy my chosen profession anymore (i do it on the side a couple of times a month) I still think going to massage school was the best thing I have ever done. The best part of being a massage therapist is the trading I get to do!!! Massage can be pricey (I only charge $35 an hour and 15 minutes and I don't accept tips. Hey, ya gotta love me for that!), but in a world when people have so much materialistic crap and not enough love or touch, I think massage is a great gift. Okay...I'm a little biased too. Everytime I get a massage I feel totally renewed. Mmm...I want one right now.
I would love to go to message school i'm about to move to Chattanooga Tn. Are there any such schools around there?
Nowadays, there are massage schools turning up everywhere it seems. Try looking up online to see if there are any in Tenessee. If I find anything out I'll let you know.
I love getting/giving massages. My boyfriend and I are always massaging each other. It's just really relaxing and makes your mind forget all the stress.
