I believe that massage therapy is used to heal some type of problem in the body. If you are not sick, and just want to go get a massage for fun, then you go to a Masseuse!

I am a massage therapist as are many of my friends.  I work in the spa setting and I have a friend who works in the chiropractic setting.  She rarely receives tips from her clients.  But really, tipping is a personal decision.  If you feel like he/she really did help you, and you can afford to tip them...it is always greatly appreciated.

a spa coordinator does exactly what it says. you coordinate activities and appointments. kind of like a glorified assistant. you should look into schools that offer courses on cosmetology, massage and stuff like that. you may even want to check out local spas and ask their resident coordinator if you can job shadow them. it also depends on the spa and the services that they offer.

If you are in a school for massage they should instruct students in all aspects concerning the massage treatment for a client. This topic is obviously very important because first impressions are important and this topic should have been covered by your instructors or in a book or some type covering customer relations.However I would think it would be good for you to behave in a professional friendly manner to your client and smile and state your name to the client and ask how they are today and escort the client to the massage area to do the massage. Good luck. Nuf said .

where you in an accident?  what is causing the pain?  you may need to see a doctor or a massage therapist.

Can you explain what you mean, please?  Do you want to become a massage therapist, or find one in your area or do you want to know what they do, or do you want to find out how to report one for inappropriate behaviour?  Your question isn't quite complete enough.

my mom just recently ended a two-year massage program at a community college. she is licensed and has invested in basic equipment i.e. massage table, chair, aromatherapy, hot stones, etc. she set up in our basement. one of the tasks of her classes were to give "homework massages" to a certain amount of people. they'd fill out a sheet with questions saying things they liked or didnt like about the massage. she could basically do these "homework massages" on anyone (of 18 yrs or older) and that was also a good way to get her name out there. she had business cards made and hands them out all over. she has started making a good amount of money for just starting off...

It depends on several factors.  If you are already experiencing pain, yes, the massage will hurt while the added pressure is applied, but should subside back to the original intensity within a few hours.  Most of the time, people do not have any unpleasant sensations from a deep tissue massage, if it starts to hurt, then ask for the therapist to not use so much pressure or to move to another area.  After working the same area for a while, it can become tender and uncomfortable.  Each person has a unique pain threshold of thier own, and what is painful to some is not to others. I personally feel pain very easily, due to a nerve problem, but do injoy a strong massage to work out the kinks in my neck shoulders and low back.  Hope this helped.

www.massagefree.com\nwww.aboutmassage.com/techniques.htm \nwww.massagetherapy101.com\n\nA good massage consists of two major issues. one is to know about tissues and muscles and other is to connect to the person you are massaging. The hands of a massuer had to connect to the body being massaged. You dont need to be an expert just feel the body signals and do not exert too much force or pressure. Go with your senses

I would love to have a massage once and awhile..but I am a typical man. A bit chunky and a little hairy. I save the employees the grief and just do not go...I guess I should consider the waxings.......NAH!!

I have been told its best to go to a massage theropist first then go to chiropracator because the massage theropist relaxes the musles and its better for the chiropactor to adjust you  then but if you go to massage therpist that maybe all you will need

Hi,.... If you are talking about a traditional Swedish Massage,...  there is a therapuetic routine that is taught when you are in school. That routine is designed to help to most efficiently flush the Lymphatic system and venous blood flow in the body. \n\nThat is a routine that you need to learn in order to graduate from school,... but it is not a requirement of giving a good massage. ... In my opinion,.. if you are able to "Be Present" in your hands,.... and you have learned good technique for handling the body you are working on, and how to move your own body in a most efficient manner while giving a massage,.... you should be fine.  ............ Of course, these are the things that you are in school to learn,.. and that just takes time and practice.\n\n.... In my opinion,. the thing that makes the difference between a really good massage and a mediocre one,.. is how much "presence",.. the therapist has in his or her hands. ... A good therapists hands are their eyes. .......... In fact,.. in Japan,.. the best shiatsu practitioners are blind. ... They "feel" their work,.. rather than see it or think about how to do it.  ........... When you have learned the fundamental skills of the trade and you have become more familiar with the body,.... eventually your skill as a massage therapist will become much more of an "intuitive" and feeling one,.. rather than a clinical one,... In my opinion,.. this is the thing that makes the difference between a really "good massage",.. and a mediocre one.\n\nYou are very much a beginner,... give it time. ... You very possibly will not really begin to feel solidly confident with your work until some months after you have finished school and have been working in the profession for a whiile. ... but this is how it  is with most professions.\n\nIt is also a very very good idea to recieve some massage sessions from some really good and experienced therapists. Your body will learn alot from "feeling" what a good massage feels like. This will help you to translate that into the massage you give to others. .......... You should be able to find at least a couple of really good therapists amongst the teachers in your school,.. and you should be able to purchase a few sessions from them. ... They may even likely give you a discount on the cost.

Massages, absolutely.   And I do like a spa where there are saunas and whirlpools available.

For the most part, massage therapists arent salaried.  They get a percentage of the fee the client is paying. On the low end it is usually 50/50.  ok is 60/40.  If you can get 70/30 you are doing pretty good.  The problem isnt the money.....the challenge is getting the clients.  Once you can overcome that...you are home free.
