Tips from a Massage Therapist
Casey Donnelly is one of our most experienced massage therapist with over TWENTY YEARS of experience! He is very knowledgeable and does every massage service that we offer. We sat down with him and asked a few questions about his favorite parts of being a massage therapist.
Casey told us that one of the reasons he enjoys being a therapist is because it allows him to help others. He feels great knowing that he can assist people with their aches and pains after a long day.
Casey believes that everyone should experience a massage. He said, “Massages are very important. They are a little different for everyone, but that is what makes them so great. Not all people have the same problem areas, and massages can be customized to fit different needs.”
He says his favorite addition that we offer for massages is cupping. “Cupping is great for breaking up knots. The effects last long and it can be even more effective than a deep tissue massage. I advise everyone to try cupping at some point.”
When asked what he recommends clients doing after or in between massages, Casey said, “Drinking water, stretching, and practicing deep breathing are all great things to do for your body. It is surprising how much of a difference doing these things can make.”
Lastly, Casey talked about how his favorite part of being a massage therapist is educating people about their bodies. “Many people don’t know how to listen to their body when it is trying to tell them something. A major part of what I do is teaching my clients about their body and how to understand it. I feel successful when I know that I was able to educate someone on taking care and listening to their body.”
We had so much fun getting to know Casey and learning a few tips from him!
