Three things to look for in a massage therapist

Massages are relaxing, stress-easing and exhilarating. However, if they’re not performed by the right person it’ll be more of a flop than a seventh heaven experience. Finding a good massage therapist is essentially for getting the most out of your bodywork. Here are three things you should always look out for when choosing the perfect massage therapist..

Someone who has the relevant qualifications

Just like doctors undertaking medical degrees and solicitors going to law school, therapists needs the relevant qualifications to work in the massaging profession. After all, having a therapist who hasn’t had any training could your muscles more harm than good. Depending on which area of massaging the aspiring therapist wants to go into, there are various courses available. Let’s take erotic masseuses for example, they usually enrol in Tantra training schools to study. Here they learn all about the male body and master the art of seduction. As part of their training programme, the budding masseuses undertake a placement of a minimum six weeks. This allows them to work in some of the most reputable massage parlours, gaining first-hand knowledge about the trade as well as experiencing massaging real customers. Once graduated, the new masseuses will be given a certificate which shows they have passed the relevant training. Every three years, erotic masseuses are obliged to apply for a new licence, which shows there massaging skills are still fresh. Massage parlours have a team of agents, who are more than happy to discuss the masseuses’ qualifications and licences before you make a booking. If the parlour can’t provide such information then we advise you try elsewhere.

Someone who is an expert in a certain massaging field

There are more than 500 counted for massages within this world, so if you visit a therapist who says they can do any massage your heart desires then we urge you to immediately walk out the door. The chances are they won’t perform the massage to a very good standard and even worse, do harm to your body. Different massages work on different areas and muscles, so it’s impossible for a person to be good at every bodywork there is. The best therapists have crafted the art of one particularly massaging field. So therefore, if you’d like sport massage, visit a therapist who is trained in deep tissue. For Swedish and full body massages, seek a therapist who has had holistic training. And for erotic massage find a masseuse who has been to Tantra training school. Sourcing a therapist who is a specialist in the field you are seeking is essential for gaining the maximum benefits and pleasure from your session.

Someone who is a good listener

As well as being amazing with their hands, a skill of being a massage therapist is being a good listener. If your massage therapist makes time to chat about your desires and preferences before the session commences then bingo, you’ve hit the jackpot. Good therapists see massage as an art and love to tailor the session to suit your needs and expectations. They also will encourage you to inform them of which techniques you enjoy and don’t enjoy as much throughout the massage, this enables you to get the most out of your session. Communication is key to a five star massage.

With the help of our guide you are guaranteed to find a therapist who will provide you with a 10/10 massage, in whatever field you are seeking. Just remember to do your research beforehand and you’ll be guaranteed one of the most relaxing, stress-easing and euphoric experiences of your life.  To find out more about us here at Angels of Heathrow, check out our website.

An Intro to Body to Body Massage

The world of erotic massage therapy is a colourful and exciting one, and the pleasure is never ending. Customers have many different styles to choose from, however one thing they all have in common is that they use a “body to body” styled motion. Body to body styled erotic massages are perfect for relaxation and relief and are enjoyed by men across the globe. Here at Angels of Heathrow , we use the body to body technique in many of our most popular massages… which one would you choose? Nuru massage – Our unique and popular nuru massage is notoriously known for using body to body, but in a very inventive way.

Although this ancient massage originated in Japan, it has certainly become a crowd favourite amongst customers across Europe, especially here in London. The masseuse uses her beautiful physique to slip and slide all over your naked body, with the close body to body conta...

Bonkers or brilliant? The world’s most weirdly wonderful massages

Let’s be honest, the world is a pretty bonkers place and this piece we explore the most bizarre massages the world has to offer. It was a tough call, but here we’ve narrowed it down to three of the most weirdly wonderful. Blade massage  If you get the chance to visit Taiwan the chances are you’ll end up in a market, which will immerse you into stall after stall selling local cuisine and traditional garments. One thing you wouldn’t expect to see is a stall with all of the employees carrying knives. This is no butchers, but instead a unique massage shop where knives are incorporated into the sessions. Tourists and residents are visiting the downtown Tapei market to enjoy a blade massage , which costs around £7.50 for a ten minute session. Unlike many massages, the knife massage is performed fully clothed and with blunt blades to minimise the chance of injury. Instead of using their hands, they use two knives to find pressure points throughout the body. A series of soft chopping moti...

What is a sports massage?

Image
It is a common misconception that sports massages are strictly for those high performance athletes when in fact the truth is that they are highly beneficial for everyone and anyone, regardless of sporting or athletic ability. Due to advertising campaigns, we are often mislead to believe that we have to be a professional footballer or avid gym goer to reap any sort of benefits from having a sports massage, however many people who do little or no exercise enjoy everything that they have to offer. Sports massages are designed to provide you with a deep and rehabilitating process that manipulates the soft tissue, making sure to prevent injury, elevate the muscle or to get rid of any tension or stress the muscles are experiencing.  Sports massages aren’t just for athletes… You don’t have to be a gym bunny, marathon monster or cross-fit connoisseur to feel as if you have the right to pop into your local sports masseuse or physiotherapist for a good old body rub down… it is accessible to...
