This is the reason why massage therapy experts are so much in demand today, but they do need much more than a passing knowledge of the human anatomy and a healing touch; they need a continuing education plan to maintain a career in massage therapy, which may be required by state law as in the case in the US. This mainly includes having access to the American Massage Therapy Association (which is the most important governing body for this field of work) as a qualified member and obtaining a certification from NCBTMB (or, the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork). Besides these qualifications, a trained massage expert also needs to regularly update training as expected by the National standards governing Massage Therapy Continuing Education Panels of their state/country.

Not only has the modern lifestyle provided for growth, career fulfillment, entrepreneurship and advancements in every sphere of life but it has also provided for more stress to perform well and thus increased the value of alternate healing techniques, such as massage therapy! It is not wonder then that what used to be chiefly considered a physiotherapist's domain is now so much in demand as a value-added service in parlors, spas, health farms and even hotels as people crave rest, relaxation and peacefulness that a good massage therapist can provide with a flick of the wrist and spin of the fingers! While it may not always be possible to rent out large and grand looking offices or commercial chambers for a massage therapy business, one can start small with the venture of providing quality massages at affordable costs by investing in a van so as to offer mobile massage therapy packages. It is also a considerable lower investment than renting or buying a place and employing many people with added overheads; besides, having a mobile massage therapy business allows one to decide schedules according to their convenience, have more than one location to operate from and thus wider reach to customers, they are self-employed and enjoy more freedom than massage therapists working in a parlor under a boss and can also thus be totally independent in setting regulations for work as they please and deem fit. Investing in a movable massage therapy business also reduces the expenses related to a regular set-up in an office environment besides eliminating much of the equipment one would require to fill space or even the salary of a receptionist and manager as such; other headaches such as property insurance and utility costs are also considerably reduced in a mobile unit. © Wings Of Success Page 24 of 69
Slide 25: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation With the small private area afforded by a mobile massage unit, there is the added attraction of therapists being able to offer couple-massages that are a sensual treat for many partners who cannot enjoy the togetherness of such an experience at a parlor in quite the same way besides a mobile unit allows the entrepreneur to visit home-bound clients and those with a disability just as well. Even those with a time-limitation can be attended to in the privacy of the mobile massage unit with the therapist making the appointment somewhere near the client's office/home. However, with all these heavy advantages to a mobile business as a massage therapist, there are equal number of downsides, which include taking care of self employment taxes that are typically more; having to take care of health and vehicle insurance on your own, incurring more fuel and maintenance cost for the automobile, extra commuting long-term, physical tiredness and mental strain of dealing with varied client demands at odd hours besides having to take care of advertising your services and business developments.

Slide 28: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation How To Choose Massage Therapy Tables Besides professional skills in massaging, a massage therapy table is also required for massaging business. There are many factors that will determine which massage therapy tables are suitable for the massaging business and, therefore, massage therapists have to be careful in selecting the right equipment for their business. The first factor that massage therapists have to take into account is whether they need a movable or a stationary massage therapy table. This depends on their type of business and the space that they have. For example, if you want to give massaging service not only in your office, but to your clients' homes, a portable table is a must for you. A portable massage therapy table also has a number of benefits compared to a stationary one. Some of them are : - They are cheaper in terms of cost - You can bring the table easily to your clients' places to satisfy them - When you want to re-arrange your things, it will be easier to move the table - You can use it for dual-practice (both in-office and mobile services) On the other side of the coin, a stationary table is also a good choice for those who want to specialize in in-office service only. It also provides more stability and is stronger than the portable one. Generally, stationary massage therapy tables are more expensive than portable ones. Guidelines in Buying Massage Therapy Tables Apart from the movable or non-movable type, there are other factors which you have to pay close attention to before purchasing massage therapy tables. The factors are : - Weight and stability - Durability - Density or firmness of coverings - Surface durability - Vulnerability to chemical mixture such as lotions or oils - Availability of extra add-ons © Wings Of Success Page 28 of 69

They are: - Adjustable rests for head, feet and arms - Bolsters - Face holes - Cushions - Headsets - Pregnancy accommodations - Carrying case - Warmers Warranties is also an important factor to consider.

Slide 30: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Massage Table – Tips On Picking The Perfect One! It is widely recognized as a form of relieving stress, inducing sleep and helping tired muscles relax – yes, we are talking about a massage! But, for a massage to be all this, the perfect massage table is very important; so, here are some useful tips on choosing the best massage table! It may be that you are taken in by the number of fabulous designs massage tables are now available in, but it is advisable to wait and compare these for quality and pricing against others existing in the growing market so your back massage is more soothing than ever! Look for the basics of a massage table along the concepts that make it a dependable and worthy proposition to invest in for your good health: check out various designs, type of construction, comfort and firmness factors besides the weight (both of the table and on your pocket!) A good massage table needs to be not only good to look at, but functional and practical as well for your added ease of transportation; choose one that is portable and made of good quality, whatever your budget. Check out various parts of the massage table that takes your fancy and look for design details such as comfort and ease of use, even if it the age-old folding massage table pattern, which has a skirt hiding legs that can be altered to suit different height requirements. There are also massage tables available for extra storage and some even come with side-trays and lighting fixture scope so these can be closed down when not in use and store oils, sponges, cloths and incense etc. out of view and safely, but handy if needed. The typical table-tops measure 30 inches wide and 76 inches in length; they have rounded corners so covers are easy to put on and no sharp edges protrude when the massage expert has to stretch across a client. Most good quality massage tables come with an added foaminsert that has a built-in face hole and padded table skirts so no hardware is apparently sticking out.

Slide 31: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation center support braces to hold every part in place, held together by steel cables that do not allow the massage table to collapse under weight. One can go in for the DIY type also and put together various locks, levers, knobs and screws to assemble the massage table of their requirement by following simple instructions, but this was mostly for the older version (with airplane wings that folded for easy storage and locked tight when in use). This variety cut back on using wood on the supports or legs to curtail weight, but all massage tables – whatever the pattern – do use generous amount of padding and plastic washers so the session is comfortable and peaceful. If keen on one with wooden parts, check to see these are all curved nicely, sanded down and finished proper to give the surface an elegant look and remain snag-free; opting for the new soft feeling, tough-acting vinyl is a good idea for your massage table investment because it can stand up to a lot of wear and tear subject to body oils, sweat and toxins etc. besides being easy to clean. So, go for quality (perhaps even add in the neck and leg pillow for added pampering) and choose a massage table that offers more facilities and rub up someone the right way! © Wings Of Success Page 31 of 69
Slide 32: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Massage Chairs Having an excellent health is top priority. This can be hard to achieve especially with daily work stress and time constrains. Not to mention going to have a relaxing day at the spa can be torture to your budget. Among the relaxing benefits of having a good massage is loosening up of tight tissues in the body that will improve the flow of blood in the system. When blood flows smoothly it helps the regeneration of new skin cells and flashes out toxins in the body more efficiently. Exercise can be another way to do this, but it can prove to e taxing to do. This is way more and more people tend to have relaxing massages instead. Because busy schedules we tend to postpone going to the massage spas to have our body taken cared of. That’s why a large number of massagers are now available in the market today. They vary in functionality and look. But one of the most sot after is the chair massager. The next impediment of having these relaxation machinery is that they are expensive to have. Yet, come to think about it you will only have to buy it once. Then soon after that, it will be with you for a lifetime. A good investment for your well deserved tired body. If there is a brewing wish to buy one, know a couple or so specifics about it first. • Functionality Before buying anything, first be as critical as you can be. This will make your choice easier to come by. Know the count of kneading mechanism on the chair. Then, ask about how they function on the body. • Comfort Try out the chair! Be receptive on the comfort ability of the massage chair. Ask for padding and other footrest adjustability. • Operation Take the machine on a test ride on your body. This will ensure the way the machine will knead, tap and roll on muscles areas giving you more or less what to expect. Ask the operating attendant about how those manipulation rollers are built. If they are individually installed with separate motors, they will surely last longer. This massager may cost a little more than the © Wings Of Success Page 32 of 69
Slide 33: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation single motor. Don’t get too excited with massage chairs that offer lots of rollers, this will not immediately follow that they perform better. The important thing to keep in mind is to get one that has separate motors running them. • Controls Never forget to get in-depth information on all the aspects of the massage chair. One of the most essential queries is pressure adjustments. The control of the rollers needs to have the capacity to go fast, put more pressure or reduce pressure for a softer massage experience. Never forget to take into account the flexibility of the chair as it adjusts to different body types. • Price This is the question that begs to get the right answer, how much? Depending on the performance and the holistic feature of the massage chair, the price will definitely vary. They range from eight hundred USD to four thousand USD. Reputation of the store from which you’re going to buy your massager from is a good start when hunting. Online shopping is also an alternative way to get a hold of good products. Be reminded of a return policy that comes with the merchandise, particularly when buying online. This will make sure that if you are not satisfied with it you will be able to send it back to the manufacturer or store you bought it from. Also is good when it is broken or has malfunctioned, being protected by a return policy will keep your purchase secure. Warranties are another important consideration. If they have a lifetime warranty, even if it is more expensive you will be shielded for years to come each time the massager breaks down. © Wings Of Success Page 33 of 69

Oil comes into play as an ally to help ease anxiety though oil massages and medicinal products, which has been establish well by scholars in the past dating back to 1000 B.C. Oil products come from nature mostly in plant seeds, roots, bark, flowers and leaves. Elemental in nature they are called essential oils. Different characteristics of plants give distinct smell, flavor and effect for application. To name a few are safflower for blood purifier (easily turns sour), almond oil to minimize swelling and olive oil loosen stiff muscles. Other properties of oil are antifungal or antibacterial. Yet on the lighter side they are also used for aroma therapy, which heals the well being and emotional state. Smooth, soft, younger looking and moisturized skin is very woman’s desire. Castor oil can leave your skin scar free. Vitamins A and E are extracted from avocado and can be used by all types of skin for nourishment. For those stubborn pimples jojoba oil is the best bet. It combats oily secretion of skin pores to a least possible degree. As a recreational substance oils are used for sensual massages. The greasy trait in it allows the masseuse's slithering hands to effortlessly penetrate the body's pressure points . Though this may be good for the masseuse it is frowned upon by the person on the massage table. That's why there are light oils that don’t leave heavy grease on the body. Aroma therapy was mentioned earlier. The combination of aroma stimulant and soothing rubdown can send the senses wild. Two of which are oil based. Spas are banking on the mood like deem lights, music and enticing atmosphere to bring tranquility to their customers.

Slide 38: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Body Massage – Some Ground Rules For Building A Relationship There is a lot of truth in the old adage of seeing is believing; especially in a man-woman relationship, thoughtful actions do speak louder than words. So, what better way to show you care than expressing it through a caring and timely body massage treatment given to your partner? We show you how! While typical men may think there's nothing better they'd like than having a wife's ministering touches, there is more to building intimacy in a relationship than simply love-making; yes, a massage is just as good as a hug that denotes all the love one feels without any undue pressure for sex. It is a joyful and stress-relieving activity that is highly recommended by experts who feel that building a relationship requires trust and to generate that in a woman, a man must learn techniques that make her feel relaxed, at ease with him and her body without any sexual advances feared. The importance of a massage cannot be stressed enough in a loving relationship as the smallest tactile movements enable a child to know safety in a mothers' arms, so the lover feels warm and cherished when treated to tender and nourishing body massage that stretches the single touch to many more. Many women may have been physically abused in the past or suffered a recent trauma or just be basically shy to invite a massage readily but it is up to the man in her life to convince her of his intentions in wanting to do something special for she is special – and out of the bed, too. The first step is to make a woman feel comfortable in your presence and help her relax so she is certain it will lead to bigger things; this is especially important for women with a troubled past who can end up losing out on their trust if pressed into sexual intimacy after a massage session for the sake of it. Do it without expecting payment in kind and convince your woman it is for her sake that you are offering the body massage and while it is likely you will be aroused by the activity, clothe yourself properly to avoid showing any signs of the same. © Wings Of Success Page 38 of 69
Slide 39: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation You can begin by preparing a bath for your woman, then lying her down on a clean towel or soft blanket on the floor instead of a bed, since the surface of a massage point needs to be firm. Put a pillow each below her head and shins and if you are not using pre-warmed, lightly-scented oil; you can cup some in your hands to transfer some body-heat to it before you begin by working on her shoulders and down her back, using slow strokes. Pay close attention to any body parts that feel tense or stiff to your touch and ask where she hurts (if applicable) and work on those especially before moving to her thighs, legs and feet that need to be worked in circular motions before repeating the movements upwards again. Avoid massaging private parts as you want her to relax and do not stare; work on her breasts only upon being given permission. Massage hands and face with a gentle touch and let her know in words how special she is – restrain your own needs, let it be her day, today! © Wings Of Success Page 39 of 69
Slide 40: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Breast Massage – Benefits Of Loving Your Body! Many women feel that they need to be dressed to kill in order to look good, but this is what many fancy garments may just as well be – for market research reveals that tight, constricting clothing and ill-chosen undergarments can be a primary cause for promoting breast cancer. We recommend breast massage for staying on top of things! The reason why the current fascination for breast massage has gained so much attention is due to the fact that experts believe that wearing restrictive clothing that decompresses or enhances body parts such as whale-bone bras and corsets besides tummy-trimmer panties is because the emphasis on over-shapeliness causes toxins in the body to accumulate, whereas they need to be released from the tissues. When these are not flushed out properly and regularly, it can lead to unhealthy levels of toxicity in the breast tissues and eventually to breast cancer. However, experts also recommend that since this is one of the reasons for promoting breast cancer, it is better to focus on the preventive nature of the same and raise awareness about ways to educate women we love about avoiding the condition altogether – and so we have medical experts advocating regular breast massages as a preventive step for breast cancer. The argument stems from the belief that the increased blood circulation caused by breast massage builds up to a warmth suffusing the breast area that works to flush-out toxin from this delicate zone besides encouraging the lymph fluids to flow easily so they help in draining out remaining chemicals that may be harmful. (The lymph fluids are the watery liquid surrounding the cells; they contain disease-fighting components and thus are important to pay attention to in cases of a family history of breast cancer or for those at risk for it). A breast massage is very beneficial for women and it can be practiced on self or by someone else. It requires a gentle kneading movement combined with rubbing or squeezing techniques to induce improved blood and lymph flow; it is best done by gently stroking in a circular direction from the nipple out to the breast outline. Repeat the step a few times like you would if you ran your fingers along wheel-spokes – but avoid any aggressive stroking as this can be harmful. You may use scented lotions or warm massage oils to build up the pleasure of the breast massage and to prevent any hand-rubbing friction caused in the lack of these 'helpers.' © Wings Of Success Page 40 of 69
Slide 41: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Ideally, breast massages should be performed at the end of a working day when shedding clothes and it is also recommend that women do not wear their bra and sleep (no more than 12hrs). Other times a breast massage helps are when during a premenstrual cycle when some women suffer tenderness in their breasts; during nursing after surgery to reduce scar tissue marks and simply as an activity that keeps them a-breast with their bodily changes (such as a lump in the breast), which is easy to notice for those that regularly breast massage. © Wings Of Success Page 41 of 69
Slide 42: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Erotic Massage Everyone knows that variety is the spice of life but since safe sex is recommend for a healthy life and relationship management even if morality doesn't quite hold up the argument, the best thing to do to add excitement – minus the dangers of unprotected intercourse - to your intimate life is to learn the techniques of erotic massage! One needn't be an expert in giving massages to experience the pleasure of innovating on some basic techniques to elicit the same pleasure in their partner and erotic massages are more than simply learning the right hand movements or a single touch: it's an art that needs to be built upon. Learning the techniques of an erotic massage can also help people in overcoming the dissatisfaction that creeps in to many sexual relationships and hangs over like a shadow into their personal and professional lives as it leaves individuals feeling discontented and disenchanted with a segment of their lives that should be open to experimenting and excitement. Besides bringing in a certain lost charm about their own sexuality, an erotic massage can help a person practice touches on themselves without the need for telling a partner how and where to touch for how long and re-connect with their bodily needs at their own leisure, for their own pleasure! It is recommended for both men and women with strong needs and desires and all that is called for is creating the right ambience and having an open mind to enjoying the beauty of the human body. An erotic massage given right and accepted in the right mind can lead to a foreign thrill that is orgasmic in the joy it provides besides helping one relax independently, or with a partner (should one choose to share the knowledge). One doesn’t even need an external stimulator for performing an erotic massage and it is as pleasurable in giving one as receiving one – so try it today! A flat, firm surface is needed for performing an erotic massage and touches need to be intimate, warm and sensual to build up to a crescendo within the individual's body and bring about utter © Wings Of Success Page 42 of 69
Slide 43: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation peace and ultimate relaxation from the session. When concentrating on the person's sexual points, it is advisable to keep the tempo going and steady at a plateau of feelings before letting them experience the high of the ultimate arousal. Men like being spoken to during the erotic massage but many may react just as well to nonverbal strokes to bring them to ejaculate while women are more given towards receiving erotic massage when it concentrates on their G-Spot (also known as the clitoral massage), which if done properly, can bring them to multiple orgasms. An erotic massage can be performed for opposite sex or same-sex partners and be equally stimulating in either case but remember, there is little room for selfishness and wanting to satisfy your own urges when conducting an erotic massage – so, learn to give pleasure in order to be the best lover you can be! © Wings Of Success Page 43 of 69
Slide 44: Massage Therapy For Complete Body Relaxation Male Massage Male massages are primary a massage session between a client and a male masseur and are rising in popularity with the number of parlors opening up around the globe only catering to specific demands for these experts with magic hands. It is believed that a man's strong and capable hands are better suited to releasing tension from various bodily parts and thus better at relieving stress. A massage may well have been looked upon as something that was woman-pleasure oriented or meant for the gay community, but with the evolution of the metro-sexual urban male who believes in looking good and feeling good in every sense, there is an acceptance about straight men of all ages visiting massage parlors for knocking some of the knots out of their system. Not only does a massage help work on stressed muscles and promote blood circulation, it also helps a man relax and free the day's tensions from his mind and body by helping the client achieve a sense of balance and peace through using stronger and effective techniques for inducing sleep, the ultimate relaxant. A masseuse is a woman who though be well-trained in the various forms of massages or specializing in one particular form, but she is physically less likely to have the basic strength of men, who are more capable on the whole of exerting the strength and pressure needed on various joints in a man's body to rid him of the cricks than a woman massage expert ever could. Of course, we are not talking of the Swedish masseuse, but rather, women masseuse in general! Some men like a male massage expert working on them because of the added muscle power at their disposal so they are likely to get the tight knots of tension out of their system faster, others may prefer it as a fantasy-mode thing – especially gay men who enjoy it more due to associating it with a lover's touch. Yes, there are homosexual masseurs as well as straight masseurs who service the otherwise inclined or straight lot of male clients in the various top-class as well as budget massage parlors that have sprung up in many tourist spots besides those that offer fringe benefits such as erotic massages or more intimate touching to the clients. Many men come back to the male massage parlors for the choice of a sensual massage as they are allowed to build on the freedom and willingness of the masseur, but others are quite strict © Wings Of Success Page 44 of 69
