Both Yoga and massage therapy has been around for many centuries due to their huge contribution in the alternative medical care society. Branches of various types of natural healing had been derived from the two and sometimes do include the combination of both therapy programs. There are several forms of bodywork techniques that contain essential elements of these two different types of health care that are offered today at massage spas.

For those who are not familiar with alternative health programs, Yogassage is a gentle yet cohesive form of bodywork treatment that uses techniques found in the conventional Yoga and massage therapy. Most of the medical care methods are focused at providing a completely enhanced physical and mental condition.

People who are new in the field of therapeutic massage may experience mixed feelings during the first few sessions of the massage therapy. However, due to the guidance and professional ethics and service of the massage therapist, most of them quickly adapt and becomes comfortable with the therapy program. Before being able to get a therapy session, you need to be screened first through a preliminary physical examination, consultation, and a medical history check up by the massage therapist in order to avoid complications with the treatment. After ruling out no contraindications to the therapy program, you can now apply for a scheduled therapy session of your choice.

As a client, you can expect lots of things as you prepare for the upcoming therapy session which you had scheduled for your convenience. One thing that you need to know it to keep away from heavy meals prior to your therapy session as you don’t want to be uncomfortable as you receive the treatment. This may be one of the simplest and most common preparations to any type of therapeutic massage but it is one of the most important things to follow.

As a typical type of yoga therapy, Yogassage is usually done with the patient’s clothes undressed during the whole therapy session. It is unnecessary for this form of bodywork to remove any clothing as most of the techniques are done as gentle transitions of movement. For such types of massage therapies, there is no need for massage oils and any type of lubricant. This can be favorable to many clients as most of the people who would love to have a massage are quite hesitant with the idea of removing your dress even though you can use a towel to cover parts of your body.

As you are receiving your natural treatment, you can expect your therapist to teach you and guide you with the meditation and breathing exercises. These are essential factors that can greatly enhance the efficacy and success rate of your therapy session. Afterwards, you will be moving from different positions as your masseuse pulls, bends, and presses various areas of your body to release tension on the muscle tissues. This process also helps the other systems of the body to significantly improve in structural balance, health, and performance level.
