✨The Massage Table✨
Did you know that the apparatus used to lie on during a western massage is referred to as a table, not as a bed? A subtle, but important distinction.
Another important distinction to make when referring to a bodyworker is in the terms masseuse or masseur and Massage Therapist. The difference is in the time spent formally studying bodywork. A masseuse or masseur is a very casual term referring to someone who provides touch for payment. To be certified as a Massage Therapist in California, one must complete 500 hours of formal training. At The National Holistic Institute I completed the 900+ hour program, which qualifies me as both a Massage Therapist and a Health Educator. It is the latter of my title that I wish to emphasize here. 💫
