Massage Therapy
Brittany Johnson, Certified Massage
Therapist
 Massage
therapy is used as a means of treating painful ailments,
decompressing tired and overworked muscles, reducing
stress, rehabilitating sports injuries, and promoting
general health. This is accomplished by manipulating your
soft tissues in order to improve the body’s circulation
and remove waste products from the muscles.
A massage is given to relax or rejuvenate the person
being massaged. It is important to note that this massage is
not intended for a medical purpose, and provides medical value
only through general stress reduction and increased energy
levels. Massage therapy is provided with your medical health in
mind.
I use special techniques for elderly clients, athletes,
clients with injuries and clients seeking
relaxation.
I work by appointment. Before beginning your massage therapy
session, I will conduct an informal interview to find out about
your medical history and desired results from the massage. This
gives me a chance to discuss which techniques could be
beneficial for you.
Based on the your goals, ailments, medical history, and stress-
or pain-related problem areas, I will conclude whether a
massage would be harmful, and if not, move forward with the
session while concentrating on any areas of particular
discomfort. While giving the massage I may alter my approach or
concentrate on a particular area as necessary.

 What to expect
during your Massage Therapy session
A full body massage is done on a padded table with sheets and a
blanket. Most people undress completely, while some leave some
clothing on such as underwear. Your privacy is respected at all
times. You will be covered with a clean sheet and a blanket
(for extra warmth). Only the part of the body that is receiving
the work will be exposed while the rest of your body remains
covered.
We use light oils and/or lotions to lubricate the skin during
the massage to allow for smooth strokes. These oils and lotions
may have different scents added to increase your overall
relaxation. Music is also played softly in the background to
aid in the relaxation process of your mind and nervous
system.
