Selecting the Best Massage Therapist In Denver, CO...for YOU!!!

For those who are looking for a Massage Therapist in the Denver area, the task can seem overwhelming with such a saturated market of therapists in the area.  When searching it's best to determine exactly what you are needing and/or wanting from your Massage Therapist or Massage Therapy establishment.  Do you want spa services in addition to Massage? Is parking an important factor? Is the location convenient for you?  Is a peaceful, quiet environment important or do you prefer a gym or boot camp type setting for athletes? 

Once you've determined what type of business you'd like to visit, it's time to choose a Therapist.  So what are things to look for when choosing a Therapist?  In my opinion, there are certain qualities that separate the Best Therapists and the rest: Pursuit of Continuing Education, Personal Presentation and Clear Business Purpose.

In my opinion, Continuing Education, whether technique or pathology based, shows the Therapists is not intellectually lazy.  It shows a care and love of the profession in that the therapist is trying to grow, continue to learn and help clients in a better way.  The therapist investing in Continuing Education is investing their time and efforts to better their techniques and understanding of the body--leading to a more affective treatment repertoire to pull from. The therapist who hasn't studied since massage school gives an impression they are satisfied with their knowledge base and lack motivation to grow and evolve into a more result oriented Therapist.

In massage, we therapist not only have to market our skill set but also ourselves. We are essentially selling our personality to the client--massage is a relationship based on touch--a great massage can be ruined by a sour attitude or immodest dress.  That's where personal presentation comes in.  When a therapist is scantily dressed and provocatively posed, their main intent is most likely not to attract professionals, but those looking for illegal services. If a therapist presents themselves in a humble, professional light--one can be a little more sure the therapist is in it for the right reason--to help those in need.  

A clear business direction should be evident from the initial view of a therapist or business website.  If it seems they are all over the map without ever really focusing or capitalizing on their strong suit, their massage may be similar--all over with no clear direction. Some gear more towards relaxation component others sacrifice that for intense, but needed changes....Others strive to blend the two.  If it seems the Therapist is only listing words with prices...and not conveying their conviction or determining factors, they most likely, in my opinion, are in it for the money.   Those are the most dangerous types of therapists; as they will ignore contraindications or work too deeply for pressure sake. 

There inferences are all my own opinion. These re things that as a therapist I look for when selecting a therapist for Massage.  Above all, the feeling of safety and trust is the most important thing.  Use reputable sites when searching, craigslist is not recognized as such among most Professional Therapists. Talk to them on the phone before booking--if you are apprehensive bring a friend to wait in the car or ask of they can he present during the massage.  Always trust your instincts and never go to someones house unless you personally know them or personally know, very well, an existing client of said Therapist.

Everything mentioned above is simply my opinion, not meant to be taken and adopted as your truth--just sharing some thoughts and opinions that may help those struggling to make a decision.   I hope that when you begin your search of Massage Therapist in Denver, CO you give Brandon Lowry Massage In Denver a look :) and if you feel comfortable, give me a call :)
