I would have chose the last one, but it isn’t because I don’t like someone touching me. i just never have the time. If I did, man would it be the day!!
I do however remeber my first and last massage, it was a thank you from one of our AMAZING Client’s. It was a hot mud massage. The whole massage took about an hour. At the end of it I got up and just felt like a million bucks! it was awesome!

I love to go for a massage when I can and I notice a big difference in my stress levels. Before kids and the bigger house that started sucking up my disposable income, I used to enjoy a massage every 3 weeks. Now I’m only lucky enough to enjoy one about 2 – 3 times per year. Perhaps, I’ll check out what my insurance covers!

Some companies are even bringing in a massage therapist once per week for quick shoulder/upper back massage. There is a small fee involved but it is convenient for busy employees.

I am a Massage Therapist, and Ive worked in all different venus. Recently was in a chiropractic office. Health insurance companies will usually allowed X amt of dollars/visits per year if held in a doctor setting. and usually it’ll be coded under therapy so if u get physical therapy or massage therapy you only get so much per year. So use that money!!

My friend worked in the hospital setting and all the clients she has are either over 60 or in pretty bad conditions. In the chiropractic setting I had a WIDE assortment but they were usually once a week, in the salon setting, most were younger, under 30 and they came and went. and in the Spa Setting usually the clients are once a month… and anywhere from 20-60 in age. now that I work indepentantly my clients are all different, and most are every other week, or once a month. ( i travel to their house usually)

I really need to start getting a massage once a month again. It makes such a huge difference in the way I feel physically and mentally.

Years ago I worked in a “healing”/Massage spa and some health insurance companies actually covered X amount of massages per year. The reason they did that was b/c massages help decrease stress,which promoted a healthier lifestyle, which in turn decreased the amount of insurance coverage being used.
