Massage & Tips — a quick clarification

Clients occasionally ask (or hesitate to ask) about tipping in my massage clinic, so I wanted to clarify this properly. I don’t always bring it up myself, since my focus is usually on medical and therapeutic goals rather than service conventions.

While tips are common in many massage therapy settings, my clinic follows a different approach. Tips are not required, expected, or accepted as part of the massage service. Sessions are provided on a professional basis, with clear and transparent pricing.

Instead of tipping, various discounts and special rates are available from time to time.
Clients are welcome to attend their appointment, relax, and fully enjoy the massage — without worrying about tips at all.

LIST OF PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS IN MASSAGE THERAPY
For novice massage therapists, navigating the modern landscape of therapeutic methods can be challenging. Limited foundational training often makes it difficult to distinguish evidence-based approaches from speculation and pseudoscience. This lack of clarity is actively exploited by unethical practitioners and self-proclaimed educators who promote simplistic explanations, guaranteed outcomes, and so-called “easy solutions.”

To make this easier, a list of well-established and repeatedly scrutinized pseudoscientific theories and methods is provided below.

These approaches should be avoided. They do not improve clinical practice, do not enhance outcomes, and do not deepen professional understanding. Instead, they waste time and money while reinforcing poor clinical reasoning and ineffective habits.

- Neurokinetic Therapy,
- Applied Kinesiology,
- Vagus Nerve "Resets",
- Somatic Fascia Release,
- Neuro-Emotional Technique,
- Kinesio Taping, Craniosacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation,
- Manual Lymphatic “Detox” Techniques
- Scar “Memory” Release,
- Biomechanical Muscle Imbalance Models,
- Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)
- Structural Integration - Rolfing (sorry Thomas Myers)
and so on...

Here are several things worth knowing that can help make your session more comfortable and predictable.

1. You are welcome to arrive 10–15 minutes early. This helps avoid delays, allows extra time for discussion and preparation, and reduces unnecessary stress related to traffic.
2. It is best not to eat a heavy meal right before your massage. This makes it easier to lie comfortably (especially face down) and relax more fully.
3. If you have any questions after your previous session, feel free to bring them up. This helps plan the current session more accurately and adjust the approach if needed.
4. You may keep your underwear on or remove it completely — in all cases, your personal boundaries will be respected and never crossed without your knowledge and consent.
5. Do not tolerate discomfort. Speak up immediately if something feels uncomfortable.
6. If you experience localized pain during the massage, please let me know. This is important and allows the work to be adjusted appropriately.
7. You are in control of the process. If your body position becomes uncomfortable or you want to change it (for example, if you no longer want to lie face down), say so right away. During the session, you can adjust everything: lighting, music, massage pace, pressure, techniques used, and focus areas.
8. You may talk during the session or remain quiet — whichever feels more comfortable for you. There is no “right” option; you choose what works best.
9. After the massage, you may feel tired or, on the contrary, energized — both reactions are normal.
Mild muscle soreness may appear the next day; this is normal and usually resolves on its own.
10. You can ask questions at any time. There is no need to feel awkward or search for the right words — ask in whatever way feels natural to you.

Why does relaxation massage often give only temporary relief, and the tension comes back in a day or two?
Many clients expect a “magic fix” from massage, but in cases of chronic tension caused by stress and prolonged sitting, it rarely works alone.
The issue isn’t the massage or the therapist — it’s the complex nature of a condition that builds up over months and years.
I break down the typical scenario, the reasons for reduced effectiveness, and why massage should only be part of a broader recovery strategy.

Clients ask me this all the time: “Should I talk, or is it better to stay quiet during a massage?”
It matters more than it seems — the right environment can completely change how deeply your body relaxes.
And in my massage clinic, there’s one simple rule: the session is shaped by the client — not the therapist.

I wrote more about it on the clinic blog — if you’re curious, take a look.

One of the main secrets of Highly Effective Massage.

As massage therapists develop professionally, the question inevitably arises: how do we actually make our work more effective?
The traditional paths — revisiting fundamentals and studying theory in depth — often feel slow, tedious, and almost unfairly demanding.

Meanwhile, the market constantly offers “innovative” massage systems, allegedly grounded in science. They come with elegant names, layers of mysterious terminology (neuro-, proprio-, myo-, and so on), and a distinctly commercial presentation.

Beginners are easy targets. Time and money are invested enthusiastically — and, quite often, wasted. The quality of work does not improve; sometimes, it quietly deteriorates.

And here lies the real “secret” of highly effective practice: avoid pseudoscientific methods. Learn to recognize them — and walk past them. Invest instead in knowledge, experience, careful observation, and clear thinking.

Many people wait until discomfort becomes a medical issue.
Massage is often used earlier, when function is already reduced, but treatment is still simple.

Feeling like your brain has 73 tabs open and your body is about to show the blue screen of death?
Neck stiff from endless scrolling.
Shoulders up to your ears from deadlines.
Back screaming every time you stand up.
That’s not “just tired.”
That’s your whole system overloaded and ready to crash.
One proper 90–120 minute deep relaxation session = hard reboot.
I manually close every frozen process, clear the cache of tension, and restart you clean.
You walk in barely functioning.
You walk out calm, tall, and actually present.
