What is the style of massage called when the person walks on your back?
Q. I want to learn more about the style of massage where the person giving the massage walks on the person receiving the massage's back. I was told it was Thai massage but I don't know what to call it to find out more! I am interested in learning how to do this but I don't want to break someone's back trying!

A. Ashiatsu certification is a 3-part process. Cost is $550 to learn the basics and is available to massage therapists only. I should add that there are other barefoot Swedish therapies. Receiving a Thai massage is similar to doing yoga, except the therapist is manipulating your body into stretches and positions!

How can I massage a knot out of my husbands back shoulder?
Q. My husband has a cronic knot, or what feels like a tense ball in his back, left shoulder muscle. I have been trying to work it out with massage. It has been getting smaller but I can't seem to totally work it out. Any suggestions? Also, the ball of tension seems to move around a little as I massage. Thanks!
Asked by Arria_11 - Wed Aug 22 02:19:36 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Try getting a tennis ball (or other ball about that size). With your husband laying on his stomach, you can press down with the ball with considerable pressure. Let him guide you to the spot that is the most tender. Once you are on it, just press hard and make very small circular movements pretty much staying right over that spot. This is basically a trigger point release technique. You can do it as often as you like, but apply the pressure at one minute intervals with another minute or two between each pressure application.

How long after a massage should you wait to consume alcohol?
Q. I have a massage appointment at 2:00 and a Girl's Night Out tonight. Is there a rule as to how long after a massage you are supposed to wait before consuming alcoholic beverages?
Asked by mary - Sat Apr 24 13:09:19 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Make sure that you drink tons of water before going out. Just like working out, your body did a lot of work and needs to be re-hydrated. If it isn't, you will get drunk (and hungover) a lot faster than you normally do. I have clients who didn't listen to this advice and regret it in the morning.

What is the Education difference between a Massage Therapist and a Physical Therapist?
Q. I understand that a Massage and Physical therapist are two different occupations, but what degrees do you go through that are different for each? I've looked it up, and it says for a Massage Therapist, all you need is a certificate/degree in Massage work. I find that hard to believe, and was wondering if there was something that the internet lacked to tell me?
Asked by EroCen - Mon Nov 16 19:37:16 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is true, you only need a certificate to become a massage therapist. Yet, the job market for this is very poor and your ability to get regular income and benefits is limited. Physical therapy takes at least a master's degree and most programs are now doctoral. But to counterpoint one of the above posts, it's a DPT, not a PhD and typically takes 6-7 years...very rarely 8. Physical therapy is a true professional and the job market, earning potential and ability to secure benefits is very stable.

A. Are you already trained as a massage therapist? If not you are going to need to get some formal training. Then you need to check with your state if you require a permit. The next step would be to advertise your services maybe in the local newspaper or craiglist. Ofcourse you will need to invest in your different massage lotions and another great addition would be some business cards you can distribute to people you meet. Oh I almost forgot the massage table especially if you are based out of your home.

What is the best portable massage chair on the market?
Q. I need a portable massage chair to use at an office to give short massages. I have used the Stronglite brand and found that it is ok, but I do not like how difficult it is to put back in the case. I think the other brand I have used was Ergo Lite (?) and it didn't feel stable enough. I want something light weight, stable, easy to set up and break down, and hopefully under $500. Any suggestions are welcome even if they aren't completely perfect.

A. Oakworks. They have the best design, best construction, best quality and best ease of use. They cost a little more and weigh slightly more comparatively, but you will enjoy the stability, durability and ease of adjustments it offers. I believe most are under $500 if you don't get too crazy with upgrades of vinyl, padding or accessories. You may even be able to find a discounted product from the factory, or a "pre-owned" version on auction sites. Buyer beware, though.

Massage therapist trying to figure out what portable massage chair to buy?
Q. I am looking to buy a chair to do onsite chair massage, I will be doing a couple of hours a week and want a good, sturdy, comfortable chair. The range in prices is so high, from dirt cheap to insanely expensive, and I was wondering what people's experiences have been, what chairs are good, what to look for, what to avoid. Thanks for the input.
Asked by sarabeth - Tue Jan 5 16:12:42 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you are going to invest in chair massage as a business, then go with the Oakworks brand. It is sturdy, durable, easy to transport, set up & take down, and the customer service with the business is one of the best. The price range is a little higher than some, but you are definitely paying for a longer lasting product. Check the website for some deals or manufacturer send-backs. Most of the time you can save 20-30% off new if you are willing to sacrifice color choice, padding choice or maybe a vinyl fix-it that does not affect the use of the chair. I also recommend a carry bag for it to help haul, store and protect the chair and any supplies you may need.

A. Unscented almond oil is the standard for massage practitioners. I would avoid baby oil because it's a petroleum byproduct and can clog your pores. You can buy almond oil at Walmart or most grocery stores. If you don't like the almond oil straight, you can mix it with regular body lotion 50/50. Give it a good shake and it will work great. Your wife is a very fortunate lady to have you!

A. I advertise in the newspaper, but I also include my website where people can go to check out my credentials, prices, menu of services offered, and location. However, if you just outright ask "do you offer happy endings", every single place will say No. They would be stupid if they answered otherwise. A legitimate place will be state certified, belong to some kind of national organization that regulates the massage industry such as ABMP. You could also ask around about the reputation of that particular business or therapist to confirm or deny your hunches. I have had clients that came in late, after work. The first three times he was nice and polite. The last time, he asked for more. I politely told him that his massage was over… [cont.]

A. Other than the fact that you could earn money in your spare time, there is no advantage to becoming a massage therapist prior to becoming a PT. The level of anatomy offered at most MT schools is substandard to the gross human anatomy required by PT programs. PTs are hardly using massage anymore, and any techniques you really need to know as a PT take only a few hours to learn. Most employers would not consider having your MT and PT to be of any further asset. Becoming an assistant isn't worth the effort either. It would take you two years to get the degree and then you would find out that you have to start all over again to become a PT. Becoming an aide is possible, as it requires no formal experience.

A. Certainly. The only problem you might encounter in doing this is practicing message therapy while actually working as a cocktail waitress. In other words, I would imagine a cocktail waitress would get a lot of opportunities to provide a few "deep muscle" massages while on the job... If you get my drift? That would probably be illegal.
