4400 N 23rd St. McAllen,Tx.78504 Tension headache. It often goes away with rest. Migraine headache.
Pain often starts in the neck and back and works its way up to feel like a tight band around your head. Pain typically begins on one side of the head, throbs or pounds, and makes you sensitive to light and sound. It may cause nausea. A migraine can last for hours or days. Cluster headache. A cluster headache feels like a stabbing pain in the eye. It may cause eye tearing or redness, runny nose, or
nasal congestion. It may last for a few minutes or hours, go away, and come back several times per day. These headache clusters can occur for months, disappear, and reappear a long time later. Massage therapy helps to relieve both types of headaches by easing muscle tension, relieving muscle spasms, releasing shortened muscles and relaxing tension held in the muscles of the head, shoulders, and neck. When muscle tension eases, there is less pressure on the nerves and blood vessels that supply them. Bargain Bazaar @

_____________________________________
What is Massage Therapy? Massage therapy, also known as Swedish massage, is the most common form of massage therapy in the United States. Massage therapists use long, smooth strokes, kneading and other movements focused on superficial layers of muscle using massage oil or lotion. How Does Massage Therapy Work? Massage therapy improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues. It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility, and helps clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. Why Do People Get Massage Therapy? People get massage therapy for relaxation or for a variety of health conditions:
Back pain
Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis
Stress relief and stress-related conditions
Headaches and migraines
Muscle and related conditions such as spasms, strains and sprains
Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
Circulatory and respiratory problems
Post-injury and post surgical rehabilitation
Massage therapy relieves stress. It is thought to help the body's stress response by lowering levels of hormones such as cortisol. Massage therapy also appears to enhance immune function. What a Typical Massage Therapy Session is Like
A typical massage therapy session is between 40 and 90 minutes. Your massage will begin with a brief consultation and review of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. You will be asked to undress (many people keep their underwear on) while the massage therapist is out of the room, and lie face down under a sheet on a padded massage table. Benefits of Massage Therapy
Stress Relief
Calms nervous system
Relieves work related tensions
Helps to relieve headaches, backaches, eyestrain and neck pain
Causes a decrease in blood pressure
Can reduce stress by lowering the levels of cortisol and norepinepherine (stress hormones) in the blood, and
raising the levels of certain brain chemicals that create a sense of
well being. Can help to relieve listlessness, poor concentration, anxiety, depression, irritability and anger. The skillful
application of human contact for the relief of stress can be very powerful. Muscle Pain And Soreness Relieved
Releases contracted muscles
Stimulates nervous system to relax muscle tension
Lengthens muscles
Increases nutrients and oxygen to the muscles
Helps to eliminate toxins from the muscles
Speeds injury healing
Improves repetitive use injuries such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
Increases Circulation
Increases blood supply to muscles
Removes painful lactic acid
Can help to relieve numbness and tingling
caused by muscle contraction
Enhances Posture and Range of Motion
Allows for better skeletal movement
Frees soft tissue restrictions
Prepares muscles for strengthening
Helps to minimize scar tissue
How does reflexology work? The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are "reflex" areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific organs, glands, and other parts of the body. For example:
the tips of the toes reflect the head
the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot
the liver, pancreas and kidney are in the arch of the foot
low back and intestines are towards the heel
What will I feel? Most people find reflexology for the most part to be very relaxing. Reflexology shouldn't be painful. If you feel discomfort, be sure to tell the reflexologist. He or she should work within your comfort zone. Some areas may be tender or sore, and the reflexologist may spend extra time on these points. The soreness should decrease with pressure. If you're ticklish, not to worry. The reflexologist applies firm pressure to the feet. Why do people get reflexology? Stress and stress-related conditions
Tension headaches
Digestive disorders
Arthritis
Insomnia
Hormonal imbalances
Sports injuries
Menstrual disorders, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Digestive problems, such as constipation
Back pain
Reflexology is a popular alternative therapy. It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, soothes tired feet, and encourages overall healing. Reflexology is also used for post-operative or palliative care. A study in the American Cancer Society journal found that one-third of cancer patients used reflexology as a complementary therapy. Reflexology is recommended as a complementary therapy and should not replace medical treatment. Top Ten Reasons to Need Reflexology
Are You are really stressed:
just a bit stressed. If you keep going at this pace you will likely affect your immune system and become sick. Being sick and stressed is a terrible combination. Taking the time to take care of yourself is a step in the right direction for your good health, well being and longevity.
2-You stand on your feet all day:
Your whole body is tired not just your feet. Believe me, I know, I used to be a rickshaw runner and a cocktail waitress. Relax and let someone else do the work. By manipulating the feet you can loosen up your aching back and shoulders too.
3- You are a runner:
Although the exercise is great for you, the pounding on the pavement can hard on the body. Remember to stretch, wear proper shoes and give yourself rest time. Your feet may be achy and reflexology can give them their own workout.
4-You have diabetes:
It is a unfortunate disease. Because feet start to lose sensation it is important to look after them. Regular reflexology can be most helpful in increasing your comfort. It complements all other healing modalities.
5. You are detoxing. The benefits are multiple here. Whether it is a dietary changes or the elimination of toxins from your body and environment, reflexology is a gentle way of balancing the system during this time. It should make the transition from unhealthy to healthy a lot smoother.
6 You are Pregnant
Reflexology can be administered while lying on one’s back propped up with pillows or a chair. It can work on the organs that are being squished making space for the growing uterus. Comfort is key during this time as is getting relief from the swollen feet and achy back. NOTE: CAN NOT BE IN THE 1ST TRIMESTER OR HIGH RISK THIS MAY CAUSE EARLY LABOR . ASK UR DOCTOR BEFORE U GET A FOOT MASSAGE
7.Digestive Issues are slowing you down
I have seen remarkable results with sluggish bowels that start moving even after one session! Good elimination is often considered the backbone to health. It is recommended to drink lots of water after a session which can also benefit a slow digestive system
8.You often get cold feet
That sounds like a circulatory issue. Reflexology can offer your body a kick-start, helping the blood flow and warming up your feet!
9. You have insomnia
Reflexology is relaxing and often people fall asleep. Let your active mind take a break and balance your lifestyle. This is especially good at the end of a long day. Reflexology allows your mind to take a break so that you can heal and not worry about what is coming next.
10. Nothing else has been working:
Sometimes you may need your body to reach a state of homeostasis and relaxation in order to heal. Reflexology has been helpful when nothing else has been effective. It can affect the organs and other parts of the body that are not easily accessible with massage or other treatments.

**** Facts The You Need To Know ****
Are you licensed ? Yes, I am licensed and registered with the state of Texas. What form of payment do you take? Payment can be made by Cash or Check
Do you offer “Sensual Massage”, “Erotic Massage”, “Full Release”, “Happy Endings”, “Prostate Massage”, “Rub n Tug” or something similar? What if I am late for my massage appointment? Life happens and sometimes it cannot be avoided. Just relax, take a deep breath and call your therapist to let them know you will be late or if you need to reschedule. Your therapist doesn't want to you to become involved in auto accident or receive a traffic ticket for rushing to your allotted appointment. Does your office offer prostrate massage? No, I do not offer prostrate massage. It is illegal for any massage therapist to treat a client for that condition. The state of Texas clearly states that any licensed massage therapist caught performing a s*x act or massaging that area will loose their licensure. Exceptions may apply if the therapist is working under a medical doctor's supervision. If you come across anyone claiming to provide such services I would advise asking for their credentials. More than likely the person does not have a license with the state and is a pr******te. NO! Don’t even think about it. Massage therapy is a healing art, not a s*xual service. I ask that you please treat me with the same respect that you would with any Healthcare Professional. Sensuous Massage, Erotic Massage, etc is a form of prostitution and against the law according to the State of Texas. I operate a professional Massage business and follow the rules and regulations of the State of Texas. This practice is strictly therapeutic and any s*xualization of the massage or the therapist will result in immediate termination of service and payment will be due in full. There is a zero tolerance policy for those that solicit s*xual services. This type of behavior will not be tolerated and the client will be asked to leave immediately. What if I get an er****on during the massage? Some men worry about getting a er****on when they receive a massage. Touch administered to any part of the body can sometimes activate the parasympathetic nervous system and cause a partial or full er****on. It rarely occurs, but if it does, don’t panic! It is a physiological reaction, and there is nothing wrong about it (as long as you behave yourself). Your therapist should understand and will generally ignore it. If you are concerned, you may wish to wear restrictive or supportive underwear during the session. Why do I need to drink water? Water helps your body flush waste products from your muscular tissues. In effect, massage cleanses your body by getting metabolic waste moving, but it needs a vehicle to remove the waste from your body. Water is like the trash man helping you to eliminate unwanted waste. Eliminating the waste helps you to maintain higher physical and mental energy levels. After a massage, if the body is not rehydrated a headache and muscle soreness can occur. This happens when the client does not drink enough water before and after the massage. When scheduling your next appointment make sure you drink plenty of water to avoid this. During the massage, the tissues are being squeezed and compressed so toxins are being moved through the blood stream. The body is flushing out the excess fluids and toxins through sweat or urination. It is vital after a massage to replenish those fluids with water. If not, it’s possible that you may have a mild headache or soreness afterwards. After receiving any type of massage you will need to drink water for the next several days. An easy benchmark of quantity is to divide your body weight in half. Whatever that number is equals the number of ounces of water you should drink in a day. Water is vital to keeping all of your tissues healthy and functioning efficiently. Clients are always offered bottled water after every session. How can I overcome being embarrassed about my body or being overweight? As a Massage Therapist I have seen all types of bodies, young, old, fat, thin, male, female. As a professional I want to help you feel better. Being self-conscious should never keep you from seeking health care, whether it’s visiting your doctor or seeing a massage therapist. If you’re self-conscious about a certain part of your body, you can ask the massage therapist to avoid that area. Overweight clients tend to need massage therapy even more because of the added stress to the body. Please do not let your weight or self image stop you ... I promise you’ll feel welcome and secure here. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.
* Deep Tissue Massage Therapy *
Deep tissue massage therapy is directed specifically to individual muscle fibers. Its purpose is to unstick the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension. Deep tissue is a somewhat generic term, as there are many ways of doing deep massage. A common myth is that deep massage has to be painful. IT DOES NOT! Skilled deep tissue is about working with your body to reach deeper levels, not plowing through tissue no matter what. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable or intense, depending on your body's condition, but a good massage should not cause you a lot of pain. Deep Tissue Massage: A Visual Guide to Techniques offers the following deep massage principles to massage therapists:
* Never strain.
* Use little oil.
* Work slowly.
* Use oblique pressure.
* Work tendinous insertion of muscles in addition to the belly of muscles.
* Have a clear intention of what you want to accomplish.
* Direct attention to the layer of the body at which you want to work.
* Let the body react and stabilize before moving on.
* Use proper body mechanics. Avoid using your thumbs.
Chair massage, which is also referred to as seated or “on-site” massage, is a brief body massage session during which the patient lays face down on a specially designed massage chair. While in the chair, the patient’s neck, back, shoulders, arms and hips are all accessible to the therapist. Sessions can last anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes.
[what's this?]
Chair massage was originally developed by David Palmer, who in 1986 was the first to create a specially designed massage chair that could be taken to on-site massage sessions. Since its development massage chairs have been popping up all over the market and have expanded into health food stores, store fronts, health fairs, airplanes and airports, sports events and many other locations. There are some benefits of chair massages as opposed to conventional massages on massage tables. Firstly, the massage is done through the clothing. This saves people the time of un******ng and any embarrassment they might feel. Because the massage is completed through the clothing, it involves no messy massage oils or creams. It’s simply a direct massage of the muscle tissues to relieve stress and pain. Chair massage is convenient because with the mobility of the chair, the massage can come to you wherever you are. It can be brought into a person’s home or office and since it doesn’t take as long as traditional massages, anyone can find time to get a massage. The massage makes people feel safe because it can be done right out in the open as complete privacy isn’t needed. It’s inexpensive compared to other therapies and it focuses on quickly targeting the key tension areas of the body: the back neck and shoulders. Deep Tissue Structural Integration
Deep tissue structural integration is a massage technique that works with the long-term patterns of resistance in the connective tissues and muscles of the body. These natural limitations of the body are at many times the causes of numerous physical and non-physical pains. The technique uses a combination of deep tissue massage (also called myofascial release) and structural integration therapy. Deep tissue bodywork helps to strengthen, relax, and release the natural restrictions of the different connective tissues of the body. The focus is not on immediate pleasure, but on the long-term goal of altering the muscles structures and limitations. This doesn’t mean however that the treatment is not relaxing, because many patients find great pleasure in the therapy. Furthermore they gain relief from pain and other long lasting benefits, such as the ability to move tension-free. Structural integration is a treatment though which the patient is re-educated about their body through a series of exercises involving touch and movement. It promotes the release of stress and targets troubled functioning. Its main purpose is to promote a healthy relationship between the body and gravity. The ultimate goal of structural integration is to produce a body that is light and fluid, balanced, free of stress and pain, and at ease with itself and gravity. Deep tissue structural integration usually consists of a series of eight to ten sessions. Each session is unique, but builds on the preceding sessions. Shorter series are possible but the patient will benefit the most from the longer series of treatment. This gives the therapist more time to figure out each patient’s individual needs. A normal session lasts approximately one and a half hours in length. Throughout the session the patient is placed in a number of different positions, not just left in the standard position of lying on the stomach. Patients will move from their back to their front, to their sides and sometimes will be placed in a seated position. This allows for the body to be worked from a number of angles. The therapist uses his hands, arms and elbows to work the connective and muscle tissue. The clients are also active during the treatment, as they are asked about their movement patterns, and also need to breathe into the areas being worked or to move the joints. The patient does not have to fully undress for the therapy, but both men and women are asked to where thong-style underwear to allow for the most freedom of movement. Women are also asked to wear a bikini style bathing suit top. The therapist does a lot of postural assessment throughout the treatment so the patient will be asked to do various different movements during the session. Some therapists allow you to try three sessions first, and if you feel that you will benefit from the treatment you can attend the remaining sessions. The deep tissue structural integration therapist tailors each session specifically for the individual needs of each client. Usually he will focus on the particular area of the body, which needs the most tension reduction and relief. Some common areas needing attention are the back, shoulders, and neck, but the therapist will attend to any other problem areas of each individual patient. The treatment helps to relieve stress and pain but to also help improve the performance of daily activities. Other benefits of deep tissue structural integration include improved appearance and alignment of the body, enhanced physical performance, improved mental functioning and increased physiological efficiency. Swedish massage stimulates your central nervous system to sooth and calm your nerves. By doing so, it reduces stress and tension in both a physical and psychological sense. This is why Swedish massage is often recommended as an important part of a stress management program for people who are otherwise naturally predisposed to suffering from elevated stress levels. Your body's nervous system is responsible for sending, receiving and carrying nerve impulses around your body. It is the main control unit in your body and these nerve impulses allow your organs and muscles to work efficiently. Nerve impulses are electrochemical signals carrying information, which travel from your brain to nerves around your body. The stresses and strains of everyday life can affect the smooth running of the nervous system and this where massage therapy can help alleviate the problems this causes. The skin is the body's largest sensory organ of the body, and when it is touched thousands of tiny nerve receptors send messages to the brain. These are interpreted and returned to the muscles. When the muscles are massaged the body's natural painkillers, endorphins, are triggered which send messages of calm and relaxation. If vigorous massage strokes are applied, the skin's underlying muscles are stimulated, easing tension and stiffness. Massage can have a very powerful sedative effect on the nerves and problems such as headaches can be relieved, patterns of insomnia broken, tension, stress and anxiety relieved, as well as encouraging relaxed muscles. The effect of a Swedish massage on the nervous system depends on the reaction of the nerves stimulated. Depending on the type of massage strokes used, the nervous system can be stimulated or soothed creating a calming and relaxed state of well being in the receiver.
