The Best Chair Massage Routine
Chair massage professionals often like using predetermined chair massage routines when doing seated massage. Why? One reason is that chair massage was developed by David Palmer who was a strong proponent and educator of a ancient Japanese style of massage called Amma. Like many of the Eastern styles of massage, the techniques of Amma massage are applied in a systematic and sequential fashion. So as Palmer developed chair massage he carried that approach with him, referring to this approach as a "massage kata" rather than a massage routine.

What's Lomi Lomi?
Before getting a massage, remember to let your practitioner know of any medical conce s or pregnancy so the practitioner can adjust the intensity of the massage techniques to prevent possible risks. It's suggested that you don't consume food before getting the massage. The purpose of Lomi Lomi is to eliminate mental and physical stress. This technique begins with a prayer, done by the therapist asking for healing of the receiver. This type of massage doesn't really have any distinct strokes. No two Lomi Lomi massages will ever be the same.

Wha't Thai Massage?
Thai massage is known by many different names. It is commonly known as Thai yoga massage or just yoga massage. In Thai massage, the therapist makes use of hands, knees, legs and feet and many different yoga postures are produced. Quite simply, the practitioner does the yoga for you. A Thai massage treatment is a combination of yoga, acupressure, joint mobilization and muscle kneading. Thai massage is done on a mat on the floor or ground. In other Asian therapies, natural oils are quite often used, but in Thai massage no oil is used.

However, despite my work to raise the standards and stature of this profession, I have what many would consider a distasteful and objectionable obsession. I'm wildly passionate about... rn...back rubs! That's right! Back rubs in those specially designed massage chairs. My peers shake their heads in disbelief and wonder... Why on earth does Eric like chair massage so much? I love chair massage because I truly believe that it can help take massage to the mainstream market.
