Therapeutic Massage And The Fears Of Having Treatments

By Julie Polson


There are a number of reasons why it is that people do not opt to go for a therapeutic massage without understanding the benefits that it offers. Keeping an open mind to alternative methods of curing an ailment is best practice. By not at least exploring the possibility of it and the benefits that result from having them is in no less terms short sighted.

The cost factor is always a deterrent although this mindset is illogical taking into account the following. Say someone has a persistent headache condition and goes every month to their family Doctor for treatment. The cost of the visit plus the medication prescribed amounts to let us say $100.

What this person fails to realize is that their may be another form of treatment that can alleviate the problem. Instead he or she sticks to what they know as it works temporarily and the justification is, they tell themselves, is that they can live with it. They may not realize that the muscles around their jawbones, facial muscles and neck muscles may be in such a strained condition that this tension results in them having continual headaches.

Like all new things people attempt in their life there exists the fear of the unknown. Questions such as whether it will be painful or not come to mind as well as whether the expense is entirely worth it at all. Should these be some of the reasons that inhibit you from experiencing this form of treatment for an ongoing ailment you may be experiencing, there are practical solutions to discover and get you over the initial fear factor of booking for your first treatment.

The $100 that this hypothetical person was spending a month on medication and Doctor visits can now be utilized as a second explored alternative. Most treatments can vary in price but generally it is not uncommon to pay $50 per hour treatment. The benefits of having treatments however, is exponentially enhancing to your health in the long run.

Once this is achieved a client will feel more comfortable with the idea of exploring other problem areas with their bodies they may be experiencing. For example, weak bowel movements are usually due to poor eating habits and can without regular movements, cause a host of problems to the body. Having your stomach massaged facilitates the movement of material through your colon and improves bowel movement and overall health.

Extending this idea, it would be wise to have a therapeutic massage done on your face and head to ease your way into the idea of having treatments on other parts of your body. In this way you will become more familiar with your therapist and feel easier about exploring other problem areas of your body.
