Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can offer an alternative to risky procedures like surgery by targeting tissues in areas in your body. Some aches you can relieve include those in your shoulders, neck, legs, arms, or other parts.

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a form of alternative medicine that involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body through various massage techniques.

Massage therapists use their hands, forearms, elbows, and sometimes feet to knead muscles and loosen adhesions. They often work on muscle groups that are adjacent to each other.

For example, they may work on the quadriceps (thigh) muscle group one day. And the hamstring (back of the thigh) muscle group the next day.

The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massages are an excellent way to improve relaxation, reduce anxiety, and aid in the treatment of various health conditions.

What Are Different Types of Massages?

Various massage techniques include:

  • Swedish massage
  • Deep tissue massage
  • Trigger point massage
  • Sports massage

A Swedish massage is a gentle massage that uses long strokes, kneading, and circular movements. This technique relaxes muscles and improves circulation.

Deep tissue massage is a more intense form of massage. It targets knots and releases tension in the deeper layers of muscle tissue. Massage therapists often use it to address specific issues such as chronic pain or recovery from injury.

A trigger point massage is a type of massage that uses pressure points to relieve pain. Massage specialists frequently use it with other therapies, such as acupuncture or physical therapy.

Sports massages help athletes prepare their bodies for peak performance and to help them recover from strenuous activity. Therapists will manipulate and knead joints and muscles.

How to Prepare for a Massage Therapy Session

You will want to prepare for a massage therapy session by following various tips. First, you will want to ensure you eat a light meal and hydrate yourself at least 1 hour in advance. The former tip will help prevent your stomach from rumbling during your session. Meanwhile, the latter helps soften your muscles and make them easier to manipulate.
You will also want to dress in loose clothing. Doing so will help you stay relaxed before and after your massage session. Ensure you arrive at your appointment 10 to 15 minutes before your appointment begins. This gives you time to fill out health questionnaires.
You will want to explain your issue in depth to your massage specialist during your initial appointment. From there, they will devise an optimal treatment plan and determine the best technique to use.

How Often Should I Get a Massage?

Your frequency of getting a massage depends on your situation. In some cases, you will need massages weekly. While in others, you should get them bi-weekly.

When speaking to your massage therapist, they will suggest how often you should come in to treat your symptoms.

Each massage therapy session will last at least, on average, 60 minutes.

Massages offer a low-risk alternative treatment for muscle tension, bad blood flow, and other symptoms.

Enabled" modern professional website, pre-populated with search-engine-friendly content for no upfront cost and only $249/mo*.  At that rate, it will be years before you even come close to the cost of a custom-designed site.

Do you need a website design now, but the cost and development time is slowing you down?

The people behind Build Platform™ have built hundreds and hundreds of websites for small business over the past two decades. They saw, over and over again, people over-paying for website designs that were laid out poorly and not optimized correctly for search.

At Build Platform™ we offer ready made, industry specific website designs that overcome the main factors that result in a low performing web presence:

Bad Design

Poor Content

Mobility Issues

No upfront cost and only $249/mo

* One Year Commitment, during your first year, earn up to $1200 in credit towards a future "custom site" build that you own outright.

WHAT IS IT? WHY SHOULD I CARE? WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

Although modern design changes over time of course. Today, modern design is about easy to read verbiage, clear calls to action, big buttons and directions on where to get to the information the visitor is looking for, and thoughtfully chosen professional photography that intuitively and accurately represents the feeling and message of the site content.

But good design means that it is not just pretty, but functional.

So the most important messages, calls to action, and clickable items like phone numbers and location directions are strategically placed so they are “above the fold” wherever possible and easily accessible. If modern design changes, we will update your site to match what is the most modern and appropriate for the times. We are always adding new sites and designs for our targeted industries so you can always have the most fresh and professional site around.

We have carefully determined what keyword phrases people are searching for in your industry and thoughtfully written the page content with this in mind. Each page targets a specific keyword phrase and then builds around it. Images are named appropriately. Alt tags, title tags, and meta data descriptions are all set to make these pages as optimized as they can be for you.

When you get your Build Platform™ site, we will do a number of things initially for you:

We will add your logo and do simple edits of the general color scheme to match your existing branding

We will change all regional references to your areas of service, e.g., change references to Meridian, Idaho to Boston, Massachusetts or wherever you reside.

We will change all contact info for you including google maps and contact forms to your info

If you are just starting your business, we can secure a new domain name for you and include the annual renewals in your monthly hosting/support fee. Or we will help you point your existing domain to your new Build Platform™ site.

With custom-designed sites, it is assumed that the client is providing the content (unless they upgrade and pay even more). Our ready-made sites have dozens of pages of search engine-friendly content written by professional copywriters. And you don't have to even lift a finger.

Responsive is fine and necessary. But a phone has specific needs.

The font sizes should be different, and the buttons sized correctly with clickable phone numbers and maps so when people visit your site they do not need to zoom in and out to find what they are looking for.

You will see that your mobile phone layout is very different than your desktop layout. And that is by design. Most companies charge hundreds or even thousands more to add this new layout to an existing website design job. But with Build Platform™, it comes with your account at no extra charge.

But we offer you one step above that with our Mobile Web App feature.

Allow your clients to add your site to their phone’s home screen with one tap. That way your contact info is at their fingertips when they need your services. Imagine your logo on an “app icon” displaying right on your clients mobile device, ready to use your services or refer your business to others with a point and click.

It can take real effort to get people to find your website in searches. Once they do, make sure they never have to find your site again because it is already on their phone!

With your new Build Platform site, they can. And there is no extra cost for this feature!

Not just a website, but a platform for success!

An informational website is a must, but it is a starting point.  Most people end up cobbling together various additional tools for email marketing, text messaging or other communication tools, funnels, ecommerce platforms, chat bots... the list goes on and on.

A buildplatform lease package is an All-In-One platform for the success of your business.
