What to expect when you get a Massage
at Rejuvenation Massage Therapy
Rejuvenation Massage Therapy is located
in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The atmosphere at Rejuvenation
Massage Therapy is very calming, serene, welcoming, and
professional. The massage room is warm, comfortable, relaxing,
and quiet.
You will lie on a massage table,
and you will be completely draped with sheets at all time.
The massage therapist will leave the room while you get
undressed and get on the table. Only the part of your body
which is being massaged will be uncovered during the massage.
Although massage is usually done with the client completely
unclothed, you may undress to your comfort level.
On your first visit, you will be
asked to complete a short health history, and we will discuss
your health issues and goals. There are some medical
conditions, which make massage work unadvisable, or require
a modification in the techniques used. Other medical conditions
may require a written referral from your doctor, before
massage can be done.
You and Karen will discuss the desired
outcome of the session. Based on your individual health
issues and goals, Karen will determine the areas of focus,
which parts of the body will be worked on, and which techniques
will be used to create your treatment plan. She may also recommend
home treatments, such as exercises or stretches, to further
improve your outcomes.
Please arrive 15 minutes early for
your first appointment to fill out your health history form.
For all sessions, please arrive promptly. Late arrival may
reduce the length of your session.
Please drink plenty of water 24 hours
prior to, and 24 hours after your massage, in order
to maximize the benefits and help with the detoxification
process.
After a massage, most people feel
very relaxed. Some people find relief from long-term
aches and pains. After an initial period of feeling slowed
down, people often experience a feeling of increased energy,
heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can
last for days.
Tips for Enhancing your Health and
Wellness
Taking good care of your body should be at
the top of everyones to-do list. In order to effectively
meet the challenges of modern life, you need to be in top
form. You will look and feel better if you take the steps
to improve your health and nutrition. Massage can be an important
part of an overall wellness program. Stress relief alone,
can improve your vitality and state of mind.
Other steps you can take include:
- Eat a healthy diet. Include whole, natural
foods from all the food groups. Eat plenty of fresh
fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Eat moderate amounts
of lean protein and dairy foods. Avoid high fat foods, fried
foods, fast foods, junk food, and foods high in saturated
fats. Reduce or eliminate toxins such as sugar, artificial
sweeteners, caffeine, and chemical food additives. Use alcohol
in moderation, or avoid it completely.
- Make sure you have an adequate intake
of pure water. Dehydration can cause muscle pain and
injury. Drinking plenty of water helps to flush toxins out
of the body. Generally, you should be drinking an ounce
of water for every two pounds of body weight, so if you
weigh 160 pounds, you need 80 ounces of water daily. With
the exception of your morning urine, your urine should be
very pale in color and odorless. If its not, you are not
drinking enough water.
- Get regular moderate exercise. For
best results, your program should include a variety of forms
of exercise, including cardiovascular training such as walking,
swimming, running, or use of cardio machines; strength training
such as weight training or resistance training; and flexibility
training such as yoga or stretching. Try to get at least
30 - 45 minutes of exercise daily, five or six days a week.
- Get adequate sleep. For most people,
this means seven to eight hours per night. Get into a routine
where you go to bed and awake at the same approximate time
every day. Some people find that performing a relaxation
meditation right before bedtime, helps them fall asleep
and stay asleep. Reduce stressful activities and have quiet
time before bed. Eliminate or reduce caffeine and alcohol
in the late afternoon and evening, both of these can disrupt
your sleep cycles. Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
- Practice stress reduction techniques,
such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, etc.
- Live your life with a joyful, thankful,
positive attitude. Reach out to others and offer your
help, kindness, and concern whenever you can. Our thoughts
and emotions create our reality, and have a direct influence
on our physical health.
