Massage therapy can be used alongside various therapies and treatments to enhance overall health and well-being. It complements physical therapy, chiropractic care, and sports medicine by promoting muscle relaxation, pain reduction, and improved flexibility. Additionally, it can aid in stress reduction, mental health support, and postoperative recovery. Massage therapy is often integrated into complementary medicine practices, pregnancy care, and cancer treatment support. While it offers numerous benefits, it should be used in conjunction with medical advice and treatment, ensuring a collaborative and safe approach to holistic health.

People of all ages can get massage therapy if they have permission from a medical professional and can understand what they agree to. Some massage therapists might only do certain types of massages or might only be allowed to do certain types of massages because of local rules. If you are under 18 years old, your parent or guardian will need to agree to the therapy before you can start.
To prepare for a massage therapy session, you should relax and drink lots of water. You will also want to wear comfortable clothing that is not too tight. This way, your therapist can treat the areas that need it. Avoid eating a lot of food before your session. Otherwise, you may feel uncomfortable or sleepy during the massage. Make sure to talk to your therapist before your massage session starts so you can get what you want out of it.
It is typically customary to undress to your comfort level for a massage therapy session, usually down to your underwear. Some types of massage may require full nudity, but the therapist will ensure you are properly draped during the session to maintain modesty and comfort. It’s important to communicate your level of comfort and undress only as much as you feel comfortable.
During a massage therapy session, your therapist will give you their full attention. Your therapist may ask you how you’re feeling and what you hope to accomplish during the session. Your therapist will then use different types of pressure and techniques to help relax your muscles, reduce tension, and improve your overall well-being.
After your massage therapy session, it is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins released during the massage. Try to take some time to relax and enjoy the feeling of relaxation after your session. You may also want to avoid strenuous activities and avoid alcohol or heavy meals for a few hours to enhance the benefits of the massage.
