Where Will My Massage or Bodywork Session Take Place?
Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort.
Who Will Perform the Massage or Bodywork? You can be sure your session will be conducted by a professional who has received proper training. All 48,000+ practitioners on Massagetherapy.com's online referral service are members of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP). As a condition of membership, ABMP verifies the training and credentials of every one of its practitioners. Some massage and bodywork practitioners are licensed by the state, while others are locally regulated. Although no two massages are exactly alike, you may request a certain technique or modality. You may also request your preference of a male or female therapist.
Must I Be Completely Undressed? Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.
Will the Practitioner Be Present When I Disrobe? The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.
Will I Be Covered During the Session? You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
What Parts of My Body Will Be Massaged?
You and the practitioner will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage. A typical full body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. You will not be touched on or near your genitals (male or female) or breasts (female).
Are There Different Kinds of Massage and Bodywork? There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. Ask the practitioner about the methods he or she uses.
How Long Will the Session Last?
The average full-body massage or bodywork session lasts approximately one hour. A half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage session, such as neck and shoulders, back or legs and feet. Many people prefer a 60- to 90-minute session for optimal relaxation. Always allow relaxation time prior to and after the session. Hot tubs, steam baths and saunas can assist in the relaxation process.
How Will I Feel After the Massage or Bodywork Session? Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.
What Are the Benefits of Massage and Bodywork?
Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being. Click here for more details on the benefits of massage.
Are There Any Medical Conditions That Would Make Massage or Bodywork Inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it's imperative that, before you begin your session, the practitioner asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Your practitioner may require a recommendation or approval from your doctor.

Breath Is Life
THE HEALING PLACE OF COTTAGE GROVE

Breathing Fundamentals for Health and Personal Development Personal development is a lot about creating energy and managing it. The way we breathe, the quality of our respiration, is our primary source of energy. From the connection to our core to the experience and expression of our truth, the way we breathe guides, supports or defeats all inward experience and outward expression. Breathing poorly or well gets in our way or can become the “wind beneath our wings”.
BREATHING AS A SOURCE OF ALIVENESS There is a direct relationship between breathing and feeling fully alive. Many people feel like they are powerless or are getting old before their time. What is more important is that they are often losing or never developed their ability to breathe. As the breathing energy develops, the energy of bliss, excitement and ecstasy must be tolerated or contained to be properly managed.
LONGEVITY Health wise, people say breath is life but few realize how true that really is. Did you know that your breathing volume is directly correlated to how long you will live? The Framingham study of 5,200 people over 30 years and a similar follow up study both came to the same conclusion.Most people don't pay any attention to the way they breathe until it is too late. Studies show if you don't breathe properly you lose from 9-25% of your lung capacity every decade. Exercise helps but some kinds of exercises can actually worsen good breathing, many popular sports included.
PREDICTING THE TENDENCY TOWARDS ILLNESS. By the time you get diagnosed for a respiration problem by an MD you may have already lost up to 50% of your breathing capacity or conditioning. There are easy day to day steps you can take to maintain your breathing as well as recover some or a lot of what you have lost. By accelerating your breathing development you can add a huge positive element to most aspects of your health and well being. Better breathing has often been known to reduce or eliminate many diseases due to the way it increases the oxygen supply and recharges and balances the central and autonomic nervous systems.
BREATH HOLDING Did you know that many hold their breath and don't even know it? That can lead to shallow and distorted breathing. Poor breathing leads to major oxygen and energy shortages that are related to anxiety, asthma, allergies, depression, fatigue, high blood pressure, poor sleep, poor exercise habits, poor speaking, and problems with singing, sports performance, or weight control.
SPIRITUALITY Inspiration is to breathe in spirit. Breathing is definitely a spiritual process but gets tied into a spiritual agenda which often clouds or distorts the simple issue of healthy optimal breathing.
OUR INNER FOUNDATION To know where we stand throughout life’s challenges we must be and stay grounded. The way we breathe can serve as the foundation of our way of being. If it is not developed in a balanced way it may well distort our perceptions and invite confusions and inconsistencies in our responses.
HOW GOOD IS YOUR BREATHING Here are some ways to learning more about your breathing.
1. Do you ever experience:Shortness of breath, unsatisfying breath, breathlessness, or air hunger; Can't catch breath or deep breathing curtailed; can't get "over the hump"; Breathing feels stuck; Feel a hitch, bump or lump right below your breastbone when you try to take a deep breath; Breathing feels like a series of events instead of one smooth internally coordinated, continuous flow; Breathing is labored or restricted; Tightness, soreness or pressure in the chest or below breast bone; Sore deep pain feeling like a band across the chest Pulsing or stabbing feeling in and around ribs; Tense overall feeling; Side stitches; Chest wall tenderness; Chest is large and stiff; Sunken or depressed chest; Scoliosis or abnormal curvature of spine; Jaw tension; Shoulder tension; Stiff neck; Tightness around the mouth; Tension around the eyes; Lump in throat; Wear tight or restrictive clothing including belts and bras; Washboard abs, Constant fatigue, Poor sleep or often waking up tired even when you have gone to bed on time and had 7-8 hours sleep.
2. Stand and look into a mirror or ask someone to observe you. Take a very deep breath, as deep as you can. When you breathe in very deeply:
a. Do you raise your collar bones?
b. Do you raise your shoulders?
c. Do your neck muscles bulge out?
3. Breaths per minute. How many? While sitting or prone, observe your natural breathing pattern without manipulating it. Using a watch, count your complete breaths in one minute. A complete breath is one inhale and one exhale and possibly a pause at the end of the exhale. Scores: Answers in
#1 Any one of the choices may indicate restricted breathing.
#2. Any of the choices may indicate high chest breathing that invites anxiety, shortness of breath and vaso restriction often called hyperventilation or over-breathing.
#3. Our statistics show that best may be below 5 breaths per minute.Breath is life. Are you:
1. Curious about your breathing & its relationship to your health & well being?
2. Have or suspect a breathing problem?.
3. Think you already know how to breathe correctly?
4. Curious about how you compare to others?
