as one of these guests i'm more than willing to bring a dish & i will usually eat before i go anywhere. so, even if the host only gives me carrots, i'm cool. i never expect or demand special treatment, but i will say it makes me feel loved when a host considers me.

as for the questions about rice & gluten. rice is glutenous, but is not gluten. so gluten free can eat it unless they also have a rice allergy, which is something completely different.

@missfifi please don't call yourself vegetarian. this confuses people. & then those of us who are vegetarian & vegan get served fish b/c they've met "vegetarians" like you. no judgement, but please don't confuse people.

if you are mostly vegetarian, but eat fish, you are a pescetarian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism

oh & one last & VERY important thing

7) tell them everything you would tell a doctor. do NOT hide medical conditions b/c you think they don't matter. massage has the same effect on the body as a workout. certain moves could trigger a heart attack in certain people. they could send a diabetic into shock. could run risk to a pregnancy ... you have to let the person know so they can give you a tailored treatment. people like about this stuff all the time b/c they don't think of massage as medical. it is.


How to Get a Massage (Seriously...)
4/12/12 4:24 AM

as a massage therapist i have to say a few things here.

1) the water thing is a little off. you NEED to not only drink allot after, but before. i think it's best to kinda go crazy w/ the water starting a few days before your appointment. just go pee right before you get on the table.

2) as for the chiropractor vs spa thing ... it's really depends on your state. i'm registered in ohio where all massage therapists have to take the medical boards whether they work in a hospital or a spa.

3) masseuse & massage therapist are NOT the same thing. a therapist has had to pass tests. in fact, therapists tend to find the mix up a little insulting, although understandable.

4) yes, speak up of the pressure is too much , of course, but if the therapist is not constantly asking you about your comfort level, find someone new.

5) discussing your goals for the appointment ... if the therapist does not discuss this with you before starting the massage, go to someone else. they aren't any good.

& 6) the comment about a "cheapie" thai massage ... i will say one thing b/c i recently moved to thailand. if it is a real thai massage, that is one of the most beneficial massages you can get. it's using the same principal as nueromuscular massage (something we do in the states for injuries & common in sports medicine). you might not want to go into it expecting to take a nap though as it's a bit like forced yoga. haha but DO NOT discount it.
