Massage is always received in a professional setting, wherein the client has to remove his clothing and cover his body with sheets or towels. The massage therapist needs the
receiver to be unclothed in order to get easy access to the body parts that need massage. The sheets and towel that drape the body provide the necessary warmth, comfort, and, of course, the privacy. The client has to lie down on a table that may be warmed or sheeted so that it is comfortable to the body. A typical massage setting will also have other elements that soothe the senses such as enchanting music, aromatic candles and the like. It is important that the client is fully relaxed before the massage begins in order to receive the key benefits of massage therapy. The massage session typically begins with the massage receiver lying face upward, a position also known as the "supine" position. During the second half of the massage, the receiver has to roll over - this position is referred to as the "prone" position. If the massage has to be effective, then communication between the therapist and the client has to be excellent. The client must keep communicating to the therapist if he feels the pressure being applied is too much or too less. Such feedback can help the therapist take corrective action. The client must always discuss his medical history and his current ailments with the massage therapist before partaking the massage. Some of the well-known and prominent massage techniques are: The very popular Swedish Massage, Ayurvedic Abhyanga, Barefoot Deep Tissue Massage, Chair Massage, Chinese Tui Na, Chinese Zhi Ya, CranioSacral, Deep Muscle & Deep Tissue Massage, Effleurage, The Hawaiian Lomilomi,kajfhurqry Roman Massage and Reiki. As a side note, massage therapy rocks as a career choice. Great money, flexible hours and a growing interest and marketability help make this profession a hightly sought after massage therapy career choice.
