What's you favorite ?

[Spaz]

I have been in my massage therapy school for only two months, but I am enjoying every moment of it! Thus far, I have had two modalities: 1.) Swedish and Pre-natal and 2.) Sports Massage. Pre-natal, not really my thing, but it was okay. I have to say, Sports Massage is pretty damn cool so far. I'm really looking forward to Reflexology and Hot Stone :


Do you guys have a favorite modality??


Smooches

Hi, MsMisha.
Not sure if I have a favorite, though I am leaning toward Trigger Point and Orthopedic work

Welcome to the boards. Feel free to post often.

I have two loves in massage- trigger point therapy and hot stone!

I am also still in school. I will graduate in May. At the school I am at, we will learn Swedish, Trigger Point, Deep Tissue and then a student in my class already knows and also teaches Reiki so he is going to take a day and teach us a bit about it. Can't Wait!

Trigger point work provides amazing results. I also love myofascial release and pre/postnatal bodywork.

Good luck in school

I've taken a Thai massage class, I loved it! I want to take Table Thai, as the floor work is a little too much for me at the moment (I need to be in a little better shape!)

I also love reflexology too.

I'm currently learning TP therapy, working mainly on myself at the moment. It really does do wonders.

Sports massage is cool, but just not my thing.

I specialize in theraputic massage, somewhere between swedish and deep tissue. :wink:

Cool : At my school, we have on touched on the subject of Trigger points. We haven't really gotten into it yet, but I can't wait! Every therapist I have met loves TP.

My problem is, the more I learn about different modalities, the more I like them and the more I want to know about them! AAAGGGHHH!! I think my head is going to explode!!! I need a donut!

That's the great thing about learning :wink:

Oh i LOVE LOVE LOVE trigger point work. I haven't done any myofascial release work in a while...I do like the results it gives though. I work in a spa and 98% of the people just want a relaxation massage.Which to me is crazy cause you will still have problem areas afterward.
I also like NMT and I am so going to learn Lomi Lomi one of these days ...as I have had clients that have had it done in other states and all they did was rave about it saying that was the best massage they ever had.Like CranioSacral work too but I don't do it anymore as I had some real freaky stuff happen with that.

little off topic....I HATE chair massage. I applaud anyone that can do that all day long

I love Watsu. It's a perfect combination for me; I LOVE the water, love massage, and have loved the treatments I have gotten.

Once I've finished my schooling, I plan on taking that p as a specialty.

One of my instructors has mentioned how much she hated chair massage while she was in training, but now she loves it because that is the bulk of her clientele. I haven't learned it yet, but I'm sure it will be interesting.
