How do you become a massage therapist?
Do you have to go to school? is there some kind of a licence or certification? how about ayurvedic massages? how much money does a massage therapist make?
Yes, you do have to go to a recognized massage school, then challenge a certification board exam in order to get licensed in your state. Specialty massages are typically extra-credit courses beyond the basic massage program. For instance, I’m a Level 1 certified geriatric massage therapist, which I got after graduating from the basic school.
How much you make depends on a lot of factors…whether you are an independent contractor versus working for a spa, where you live, etc. Bottom line: you won’t get rich, but it can be very rewarding.
Swedish Massage and Ayurvedic Massage-which One is for You?
Because of the different influences in massage therapy, there are many variations in techniques, but all these different techniques, still offer the same health benefits. The Swedish and Ayurvedic massage both have very different origins and styles, but they still contribute a lot to achieve a healthy and relaxed body.
With so many different kinds of massage therapy programs available today, it has made it difficult for people to choose which one is for them
The Swedish Massage, which is often called the classic or traditional massage. This is the most common massage therapy method and it is what most people usually prefer. The long and flowing strokes characterize this method, and it is ideal for relaxing muscles, improving joint flexibility and aiding in better circulation.
The first stroke is known as effleurage, this involves a long gliding stroke from the neck down to the base of the spine or from the shoulder down to the fingertips. It is also done on the limbs with all strokes directed toward the heart to aid blood and lymphatic flow. A therapist would normally use there whole hand or a thumb pad to do this.
Next is petrissage, this consists of the gentle lifting of muscles, then rolling and squeezing them, while applying a gentle pressure. This helps to enhance deeper circulation, it also increases circulation which in turn eliminates toxins from muscle and nerve tissue.
The third technique friction, is the most forceful one and uses deep circular movements using fingertips. it is applied near bony areas and joints, it relaxes the muscle fiber which in turn enhances flexibility in muscles and joints.
Last of all, a therapist will use vibration or shaking, this would normally entail the pressing of hands on the back or limbs and shaking in a vigorous motion for a few moments. Again this is used to improve circulation and is beneficial to people with low-back pain.
The Ayurvedic massage originated from India and the aim of this method is to create harmony and balance within the individual. It is worth noting that this method is renown for removal of toxins and rejuvenation of the body.
Ayurvedic massage uses specific oils that suit your dosha. One such, is the Abhyanga-Garshana which comprises of skin brushing followed by an oil massage. Udwarthanam which is a slimming massage that uses herbal powders and the Ayurvedic foot massage which is a deep massage where the therapist uses his feet.
Now you have enough knowledge on both Swedish and Ayurvedic massage, it is up to you to choose between the two which best suits your style of relaxation. Remember both massages having unique qualities and techniques, the choosing part can be a little tricky though, so if you are still undecided why not try both?
