Until relatively recently, in our country, the massage was represented mainly by the so-called Russian school, which was exhausted by the classical therapeutic massage.

Those who visited the sanatoriums of the Soviet model remember what it is like. The back hurts - massage the back, the shoulders and neck are aching - knead the collar zone, complain about the feet - work with them. Everything happens in one large hall, the massage tables are separated from each other by screens. The procedure is strictly according to the protocol, the time and number of sessions is clearly fixed, the sequence of certain receptions for all is the same: grinding, kneading, effleurage, stroking.

The individual approach is only in which part of the body the massage is performed. Monotonous mechanical work quickly causes boredom, and the masseurs allowed themselves during the session to chat with each other and with customers, turn on the TV, listen to the radio. And that the master is not really distracted from his direct duties and still made some efforts, he was paid or made gifts. But even in this performance the massage was always in great demand, and queues lined up for the treasured coupons. Today this practice has remained mainly in polyclinics and again in some sanatoriums.

Currently, people prefer to do massage in alternative medical centers and beauty salons, where this service is presented much wider and at a higher quality level. Speech, of course, does not go about small hairdresser salons, where masseurs often work without basic medical education (which is in principle prohibited) and accordingly without knowledge of anatomy and physiology. But in institutions that value their reputation, they are very serious about recruiting specialists. Progressive masseurs learn and expand their professional horizons constantly, they never miss the opportunity to learn something new for themselves. In addition to the documents confirming that a person has the right to work in this field, they usually have different certificates of professional development and listening to certain courses.

The more such "papers" in the hands of a massage therapist, the better for his client. Another significant factor in choosing a master is your subjective assessment. Everything is important here literally: voice, charm, contact, but most importantly - hands. They must be strong, skillful and at the same time warm and soft. After all, a person comes to the massage therapist's office not only to get results, but also to rest, relax.
