Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is widely considered an effective way to relieve stress and help you relax. However, massage therapy’s benefits in treating many medical conditions have recently regained attention from researchers and health care professionals. This ancient technique includes many kinds of massage techniques and is now conveniently available in your home. Speedy Sticks home massage therapy professionals provide all the equipment necessary to provide convenient and effective sixty- or ninety-minute massage sessions.
Who Gets Massage Therapy?
According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), despite the COVID pandemic, more than one out of every five Americans got a professional massage in 2020. Half of those receiving massage therapy reported health and wellness as their reason, and 30% were referred from their professional health care provider. The AMTA lists several health concerns causing people to seek massage therapy. The top reasons include pain relief, stiffness, stress reduction, and quality of life improvement.
What Is Massage Therapy?
Professionally trained and licensed massage therapists manipulate muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other tissues for several therapeutic purposes. A massage can range from light rubbing of the skin to the more intense pressure that reaches deep muscles and connective tissue. Along with nutrition, exercise, and relaxation, massage therapy is part of the growing area of healthcare known as integrative medicine. Massage therapy takes place in offices of primary healthcare providers, spas, chiropractor’s offices, hospitals, client’s homes, and other locations. According to the AMTA, mobile massage in the client’s home or office is rapidly growing each year.

What Are The Benefits Of Massage?
In addition to the many known benefits of massage therapy, medical researchers continue to explore its effectiveness in reducing labor pain during childbirth, reducing insomnia, easing pain for cancer patients, and more. The more familiar benefits of massage include:
- Reduced stress
- Enhanced relaxation
- Improved circulation

What Is The Difference Between Relaxation And Therapeutic Massage?
Your mobile massage therapy session may include one or more of the several types of popular massage techniques such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, and others. In general, the various methods fall under the two main categories of relaxation and therapeutic massage. The reason for your massage determines the specific techniques employed. A relaxation massage uses lighter pressure than the deeper and more concentrated pressure used during a therapeutic massage. You may feel some temporary muscle soreness and tenderness after an effective therapeutic massage therapy session.
Is Mobile Massage Therapy Safe?
The risk of detrimental side effects is extremely low for massage therapy. However, it is important to discuss any medical conditions with your massage therapist before your appointment. Massage therapists are highly trained professionals who undergo rigorous testing before obtaining their license to practice their specialty.
What You Can Expect At Your Appointment
Before your session, your massage therapist will discuss any health conditions you have. Then, you will have an opportunity to discuss the nature of your problem and how massage therapy can help you. Your therapist will also discuss how you might feel after your appointment and any special instructions. Here are some helpful tips to ensure a more effective massage session:
- Make ample space for your therapist to set up a massage table unless you receive other instructions.
- Prepare to undress to your comfort level.
- Your therapist may use an oil or lotion to decrease friction on your skin. Be sure to tell them of any allergies before they apply this.
- Your therapist may play music during your massage and talk with you unless you prefer otherwise.
- If you feel pain, ask your therapist to use less pressure. However, a therapeutic massage may find exquisitely tender spots that are tender to even light pressure.
- Before or during your session, discuss any questions or concerns you have about massage therapy.
