Couples Massage

Couples massage is a great way for providing intimacy as well as relaxation.  Massage therapy improves circulation, decreases muscle tension and stress, eliminates the body of waste products and toxins, and promotes relaxation to the mind, body, and spirit. 

Massage Career

If you’re interested in making a career as a massage therapist, colleges offer programs that typically last a year.  These courses include subjects such as: human anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, hydrotherapy, clinical application, and sometimes an internship in the field at local hospitals and/or wellness centers.  Upon graduation for a massage program the newly licensed therapist has many job opportunities such as: spas, gyms and fitness centers, chiropractic offices, physical therapy center, acupuncture offices, and private practice.  Massage therapists will learn different massage techniques including effleurage, petrissage, tapotement, roulement, cross-friction massage, trigger point release, myofascial release, and cyriax friction.  All these help to break up muscle adhesion, increase range of motion, and decrease pain and inflammation.
