About massage
Massage therapy uses hands-on pressure and movement on the muscles and soft tissue. Styles range from gentle Swedish and lymphatic drainage to deep tissue, sports, Thai, shiatsu and Hawaiian lomilomi.
A typical session is 60 or 90 minutes. You'll fill in a short health form, talk about pressure and focus areas, then undress to your comfort level under a sheet. A good therapist checks in on pressure and you can ask for changes at any time.
Choosing someone in Asheville
- Check that they're licensed. Most US states license massage therapists.
- Pick a style that matches what you want: Swedish for relaxation, deep tissue for firm pressure, lymphatic for a light touch.
- Mention injuries, pregnancy or medical conditions before you start.
