Depending on the case scenero,, you might consider getting a deep tissue massage.. \n\nThis is not like your normal Swedish massage youll find at most spa's but it specializes in deep tissue work,, request the therapist to work the entire back.. Alot of times we have tight muscles in one area of the body and the pain will be in the another area of the body. Reason being? THe body will compensate because of an issue else where to take the tension off it it.. Thus you need to work the entire area to elevate any and all issues associated with said region of the body..  Also ask the therapist to work your glute's your legs,, \n\nWhat is deep tissue massage? Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia. \n\nDeep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.\n\nWhen muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body. \n\nGood Luck, and I also suggest Naturalhealers.com

I'm not sure where you are in the world, so I can only go based upon my knowledge of laws pertaining to where I live.  Here in my part of the USA, 640 hours of training, plus graduation from a nationally accredited school, plus successful completion of the NMTA Board examination, are necessary before legally performing any type of massage therapy for compensation.  The laws may vary where you are, so I would encourage you to search for licensing information in your state/principality/country/etc.

It's a good idea to decide what type of massage you want to do. Relaxation? Sports massage? There are so many different types. Look into schools in your area. Any reputable school will let you stop in & check it out. Talk to the students. Does the school have a job placement policy? Find out what is needed for licensing or certification in your state. Are you comfortable touching strangers? Having to massage hairy backs & funky feet? There is a lot of literature out there to get info. It's also a good idea to check out the number of massage therpists in your area. Is there room for 1 more or is your area so over populated with them that there isn't enough business? The income can be very sporadic. A bunch of clients for a couple of months, then none for a couple of weeks. Check out these websites. They have a lot of great info.\nhttp://www.massagetherapy.com/home/index.php\nhttp://www.amtamassage.org/default.aspx

As a massage therapist myself, I like to get one every month or more often to keep myself de-stressed. What usually keeps me from getting one that frequently is lack of funds. When I DO have the $50 or $60 for a massage, I usually end up spending it on something one of my kids needs instead.

Not without specialized training. It's not a standard taught in massage school.\n\nI could see a scenario where a massage therapist works for a chiropractor. They often use ultrasound treatments for pain management. The chiropractor could have an in-house training program for his support staff...including the staff massage therapist.\n\nUltrasound therapy for pain management is not a complicated procedure, but if the therapist is doing it outside a clinical practice with professional oversight, I'd sure want to see some evidence that there was some formal training in it's use.

I used to call my business "Massage-U-Well" because I did lifestyle teaching as well as massage. I'm not practicing anymore, so you are welcome to the name.

Holistic schools. On Long Island, New York, there is a school that teaches holistic health, acunpunture, herbal medicine, and massage therapy. It's called New York College. It's in Syosset, New York.Just remember it's a non-traditional college. You don't need high SAT scores or high grades to get in.

be a model for massage therapy school.\nwhen i was in school we needed them for learning techniques. you might not get the kind of massage you WANT, but that all depends on what the students are working on.  the school will offer discounts, too, if you want a certain type of massage technique ( Swedish, sports, deep tissue, trigger point , etc.).\na friend of mine is now teaching so she asks me to come be a model for the students. she shows the students what to do using my body, then i will have 3 or 4 others do the same thing and critique them.\nit's great when there's enough time to do BOTH SIDES.

Try calling the city or county boards of education, or see if they have a website. They will be able to tell you where and when classes are offered, and if there is a fee. :-)

I am not sure.  The easiest thing would be to get the customer service number, call United Healthcare and see if alternative medicine (massage) is covered under their plan.The link below is to United Healthcare it shows that they offer a discount on rates for massage.
