Thinking of Giving the Gift of Massage This Holiday Season?

In my article Giving the Gift of Bodywork I outline some of the important steps to consider when purchasing a gift card or certificate for massage:

1. Choose the gift recipient, the one who receives the gift, wisely. Will this person enjoy a massage or bodywork session?
2. Choose the correct massage: shorter sessions for children and elderly, specially trained practitioners for pregnant women, the best techniques and styles for the person receiving the gift.
3. Look for ways to make your purchase easier: can the spa, practitioner or office mail the gift certificate to your loved one? Can you purchase the gift easily in person or order online? How long will it take to get to your loved one?

Some of the more common forms of massage and bodywork are included in Popular Styles of Massage Therapy. Looking for a way to treat employees this year? Try Massage at the Office for tips on starting a chair massage program in your place of business.

Massage and bodywork can make great gifts for the holidays and these are just some tips to make your shopping and gifting experience smoother.
