I am not a Medical Massage Therapist. I was a Medical Massage Therapist when I used to work at some clinics.

What is Medical Massage Therapy?

I am very straightforward person, my words will either attract a strong mind or offend a weak one. I know being a direct, straightforward person has a lot of perks. I say exactly what I'm thinking. My blunt delivery is often misinterpreted as bitchiness, rude one. But I don't like non-sense like this. Wasting my time may be the highest form of disrespect. I always remember a quote:
"Be picky with who you invest your time in, wasted time is worse than wasted money"
When a client has unrealistic expectations, it's essential to be transparent and authentic. I try not to fall into the trap "over-promising" and then under-delivering.

I was not sure if this texting came from a real client or from someone who had a bad intention (or a competitor) who tried to put a distraction in my operational system? Or testing my credibility for handling their unrealistic expectations. Nobody knows. It smells fishy, I don't walk-I run. Rather than waste my energy on their negative energy, I just avoid them. There is nothing wrong with choosing to use one's energy to help more people rather than fewer people who raised my eye-brows.

Life doesn´t come with any guarantees. You have to risk it to get the biscuit." - The Alchemist, Paulo Cohelo

I'm a Professional Massage Therapist.

  • CAMTC Certified Massage Therapist, Cert#46141,(Verify Certification here at CAMTC.org)

  • ICTA Licenced Cupping Therapy Practitioner 

  • Insured by AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association)

  • I have been working in Wellness industry (Not SPA Massage Industry) for over 5 years.It is very wise to choose a trusted massage therapist who has years clinical experiences background. I practiced my massage skills to the patients who mostly had severe injuries caused by accidents (REHABILITATION). By working with professional physicians I do learn a lot of body anatomy and understand well the scope of my practice as a massage therapist. Massage Therapy is a profession in which the practitioner applies manual techniques, and may apply adjunctive therapies, with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client. Any Massage Therapists,  does not diagnose or prescribe for medical conditions. I may refer you to a medical doctor for diagnosis or treatment. My services are not intended as an alternative for proper medical attention for specific conditions. Please refer to a medical doctor for any specific condition which requires medical treatment.

  • I passed an MBLEX National Test with a great score. Why is this test very important? Because there is a huge variation in the school massage training program and also a lack of certification standards nationwide. In my opinion, this test is a good standard of knowledge for any massage therapist. In reality, not too many massage therapists can pass this test but they're certified. Before you make an appointment ask them if they had passed this National Test.

The therapists achieving this credential will have the proper foundation to better serve their clients.

  • I don't believe some terms in Massage Industry such as

    • Magic hands

    • Healing hands 

  • A lot of my prospectus clients come to me believing that I have Magic hands and Healing hands. I don't know why they believe such of ridiculous terms (in my opinion, it's misleading terms). NO! I don't have any. I'm not a HEALER nor a DOCTOR. I'm a REGULAR MASSAGE THERAPIST who facilitate healing. I have no medical credentials beyond licensure for a massage therapy.

  • I understand that some people (more than 90%) experience the progress of their well-being beyond their expectations it means my treatment fits to their problems. But some of them, their problem are not muscles problems, they came twice and it seems I only helped to release the symptoms, I always encourage them to see a doctor. Nothing MAGIC happened here, and my hands are regular hands like other human being. I believe, there is no healing hands, your body heals itself. 

  • But I always tried to the best of my ability for helping people to achieve the best version of themselves. My motto, if it fits it ships. That's why at beginning I want to make sure that my capability is suitable for achieving your expectation. If some people have any MEDICAL CONDITIONS and expect me to heal it, I always recommend them to see a professional Medical Healthcare. I will appreciate if you understand well my service If you have any Medical Problem, please find a solution to a Medical Professional.

​

At one clinic I used to work, we're specialized infertility treatment so I did massages to hundreds of pregnant women, they were all happy to get massages benefit to relieve their pregnancy discomfort.

 

At Phenix Salon Suites, I had 4 happy clients who got pregnancy massages and now all of them get beautiful babies. If you're in during your pregnancy, please come to me for relaxing(after you pass your trimester). Remember, "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy", make your baby happy inside you.

​

I am not a MEDICAL MASSAGE THERAPY, my treatment is not intentionally fixed your medical issues. It's not a MEDICAL MASSAGES. (It's not for Medical purposes nor Rehabilitation Purposes). 

 

If you have any kind of medical issues/Disorders/Diseases then  I recommend you to see a Medical Professional first because your health and safety are my primary concern. I don't provide a treatment to people who suffer from FIBROMYLGIA, TMJ, unidentified pain, aftermath recent surgeries/accidents or your health condition is contraindicated to massage therapy.

Tips:

How to find a good massage therapist, basically:

  1. Referral from someone you knew.

  2. You must shop around! Don't "Stop Looking". Expect to go through several massage therapists before you find the one for you because everyone has their own preferences. The only real way to know is to try, it's your body and no one knows what your body needs better than you do.

  3. Look for a therapist with at least some kind of credentials. Therapist who had Medical Experiences is usually a better bet. They worked with professional physicians in Medical Setting, I believe they have more knowledge to medical terms, scope of practice and anatomy. They also have more professional attitudes because they've been a long time working in Healthcare Industry which had been regulated much better than SPA Industry. If they had been working in SPA Industry for a long time for instance more than 10 years, then I recommend you to search their reviews by LOWEST RATE and see how they respond those reviews. If you make a research online then you will realize Massage Industry is a total chaos 😁 especially in CA.

  4. Continue therapy only if it goes well and you feel progress within 3-5 appointments in most cases.

  5. Cheap massages are not always cheap when it doesn't meet your needs. 

    1. If they are charging so little, how much can the therapists make? Well first of all, let’s read into the word massage therapist. To become a massage therapist, I have to undergo hundreds of hours of studying and hundreds of hours of hands on technique. I also have to pass a rigorous exam and become a certified massage therapist. So how do these massage parlors hire massage therapists for so cheap? The answer is they don’t, most of the time only the owner's certified. That's the one they hang the certification paper on the wall at the front desk. If they’re charging $40 per massage, it’s almost impossible to hire certified massage therapists so they end up hiring regular non certified individuals that know the basics of giving a rub-down.  In CA, being a certified massage therapist is voluntary. So being a Massage Therapist without certification at any SPA in CA should be legally ok. So why did I take my certification? At that time SPA Industry was not only bad, it's awful (a lot of massage parlors provided something else than therapeutic bodywork service), for that reason I decided to work in Healthcare Industry rather than SPA Industry. They required me to be a certified Massage Therapist.

    2. Let say they advertise $40/hour, but most of the time it's for Swedish massage only, right? At the end, you need to pay $70/hour plus tips. Why?

      1. If you want deep tissue, they charge you $10 extra.

      2. If you want hot stones they charge you $10 extra.

      3. If you want aromatherapy they charge you $10 extra.

      4. You probably don't get a certified massage therapist unless the owners who massage you. 

      5. You don't get cupping therapy

    3. A lot of these cheap massages have 5 stars reviews on Yelp, but when you sort those reviews by 'The Lowest Rated' instead of Yelp's Sort then you will find the truth of their reality behind those 5 stars reviews. Read all those negative reviews because they're representative of their reality. Most of the time the company will not defend their position to those negative reviews because it's very difficult to turn against the truth. Their strategy; it's easier for them to build more and more new 5 stars reviews to beat the negative one.

    4. You get whoever is available at the time  you want it, one time you get a good massages the other time you experience a disaster because the massage therapist doesn't know what she/he is doing. It's about your luckiness, most of the time their services are inconsistent, it's $40 anyway, what do you expect? Welcome to the jungle of SPA Industry in CA. My advice: "STOP PAYING TOO MUCH FOR BAD SERVICE"

    5. Not everyone has the personality type to be a good massage therapist. Being a professional massage therapist is not only about the skills, everyone can learn the skills easily. Some people project a sense of empathy, caring and support, while others think about how to use their clients for their own agendas. 

    6. It's not a custom-order therapy. If they offer a specific modalities such as a Deep Tissue Massage, a Swedish Massage. They probably fail to solve your problems.  Massages, even it’s bad, it’s OK it doesn't kill you.  But when you’re in pain and you really need competent help, your standards go up, and you start to notice that a lot of so-called therapeutic massage is a bit sketchy when the Therapist only knows 'Deep Tissue' or 'Swedish Massage' or probably she/he knows the term of 'Trigger Points'.
