Massage For Men in York – Relaxation is Good For Male Clients

Picture of man being massaged.Here at Relaxing Massage in York we specialise in giving a great man’s massage which will include a super back massage for men. Also we have a special offer price for men over 60 years of age which means you can get a great discount on 1 hour treatments here. More people are getting massage treatment as it becomes more accepted as a good complementary therapy that works. However, men don’t get as many massages as women do. Men should be getting more massages to lower high blood pressure which they are prone to. There are many clinical studies that prove this treatment for men can help with hypertension and simply help them to relax. It is time for men to appreciate the benefits and partake of this soothing, relaxation therapy. To put your mind at rest further, we have even produced a guide to men’s massage etiquette.

We Understand Male Physique - Men Are Our Speciality

Photo a happy male manager after his massage.Massaging men is a specialty here for our male massage therapist Kevin. We fully understand what men like during a treatment, how to fully relax you and the benefits massage brings you. It is an area that many local spas do seem to shy away from, even in today’s modern world. I have heard local masseurs say “Sorry we don’t treat men here.” and “Men don’t come often enough for us to train up our staff for them.” This is very much NOT the case here at Relaxing Massage York. Male clients are always very welcome and can benefit from our thorough understanding of the larger male physique. Fully trained and experienced staff are always going to be aiming to give you guys the perfect massage. Call or text 07979 814388 today to book your treatment.

As Massage Therapy Grows Men Don't Get As Many - Why?

Picture of man getting a soothing, relaxing back massage.AMTA (2001) tells us there are twice the number of people receiving massage therapy in 2001 (16% of those surveyed) than in 1997 (8%). Today this figure has risen further with surveys telling us 19% of adult Americans have had a massage.

However men don’t go as often for massage as women do. AMTA (2001) say 18% of females said they went for a massage treatment. This is compared to only 13% of men saying they had done so. These figures for men didn’t improved much in 2017 when 21% of women and only 16% of the men surveyed said they had a massage in the previous year.

The lack of men getting what is a fabulous complementary treatment could be down to a number of reasons. One of these reasons might be the way men perceive massage as unmanly. This is a very outdated view that has no grounds at all. Getting a massage is just as manly as going to the gym. In fact if you ask any professional sportsman (a very masculine group indeed), you will find they go for regular massages to help them perform better and recover faster. You should allow yourself some time for yourself by getting these treatments and benefits too.

Read the Proof - Men Can Get Benefits From Treatment

Chubby Man getting a massageMen should be going for treatments more often for specific issues like high blood pressure. Many studies like that of Reckelhoff J (2001) have found men suffer from high blood pressure more than pre-menopausal women of the same age. In fact Maric-Bilkan C (2012) goes on to say that Androgen (a male sex hormone) can explain this difference.

Numerous studies have proven that massage lowers blood pressure. Mohebbi Z et al (2014) showed a drop in blood pressure after therapeutic massage had taken place. Indeed this was proven further though when Skoog M et al (2005) did a study of healthy males being given massage at Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. Conclusions drawn here said those suffering from hypertension caused by stress should try this complementary therapy. Also Cambron J et al (2006) showed that systolic blood pressure decreased more after therapeutic Swedish massage compared to other types of massage treatment.

Men Should and Can Go For Specialist Treatments Here

In conclusion men can and should go for more massages. It is a manly thing that sportsmen do regularly because of it benefits. Swedish massage is the most relaxing type of treatment and very good for men. It is proven to help with the problems men suffer with like high blood pressure.

Getting a Massage Do’s & Don’ts - Etiquette for Men’s Massage

Men can worry about getting massage treatments simply because it is new to them. This makes them unsure and a bit wary. However, you really don’t have to worry. We at Relaxing Massage are here to help and put your mind at ease. This is a guide to massage etiquette before, during and after your treatment. It contains simple answers to many questions that lots of guys have about expected, correct behaviour. Any therapist will be happy to treat you and have you return if you keep to these simple to understand ethical guidelines.

Picture of a man giving a thumbs up Guys can be a bit unsure about how to act, what to do and what will happen to them during their first massage. However, we are always here to aid clients and this guide should help put you at ease sir. This article offers you some safe, simple guidelines about what is and what is not acceptable behaviour, or etiquette, during a massage treatment. Following these general rules means everyone will be happy. So you will enjoy your treatment and be invited back for more massage delights for sure.

  • Firstly, book an appointment well in advance.
  • Secondly, have a shower before you set off.
  • Thirdly, turn up on time.
  • Fourthly, tell your massage therapist what you want.
  • Fifthly, tip as much as you feel you should.
  • Sixthly, choose either a man or woman to do your massage. We only have male therapists here.
  • Seventhly, stripping down to your underwear is normal practice but, you can be fully clothed or naked with some discussion beforehand, if you choose.
  • Eightly, please keep your hands where they are placed.
  • Lastly, if you get an erection, don’t worry. It can happen to normal, healthy male clients as they relax, fully.

Book Your Massage Treatment Well Ahead to Avoid Disappointment

Massage therapists are busy people, just like you are. To make certain you get your treatment when you want it, book your appointment well in advance. This will mean both you and your therapist set the same time aside for your relaxing treatment. It is just common sense really. The further ahead you book, the more likely you will get your appointment when you want it.

Please Have a Shower Before You Set Off

If it is a hot day, or you have been doing exercise, or simply had a full day at work, you will have been perspiring. A massage treatment involves hand to flesh contact over areas of your naked body. Having a shower will mean no one gets embarrassed during your treatment. Simple, basic personal hygiene is good practice before a massage.

Please Make Sure You Turn Up on Time for Your Appointment

Picture of alarm clockA good therapist is a busy therapist. The better they are at thier job, the busier they will be. Your therapist here will have people in before you and people in after you, depending on what time your appointment is. So, the simple courtesy of being on time for your pre-booked appointment will mean everything will run smoothly for everyone involved. You both want your treatment to be quiet, without disturbance and unhurried to get the most out of it. Turning up on schedule will mean all these things will happen.

Say What You Want From Your Massage

Make it clear to your therapist what you want from your massage. During your health consultation, before your treatment, this should become clear to all parties. Do not be embarrassed to say what aches and pains you have. Your therapist is a complementary health worker. They want to know what your problems are so they can address them. Basically, if you don’t tell me, I won’t be able to help you as much with your tension, aches and pains.

Different types of massage (Swedish, Deep Tissue) have different effects on you. If you are unclear a professional, qualified massage therapist (masseur) will give you some guidance.

Also, if there is something specific you do like, or something you really don’t want, say so. You may really enjoy specific areas being massaged. So, simply ask for special attention to these areas. Contrary to this, you may have areas that are very ticklish or tender. Tell your therapist before they get started so they can avoid your hypersensitive areas.

Don’t Be Embarrassed -15% or 20% Tip is Acceptable

Many people are unsure about tipping a massage therapist (masseuse). People will happily tip for good food, good service and even a good ambience in restaurants. Simply put, it is perfectly acceptable to offer a tip for any good service you have received. Leaving 15% to 20% of the total cost of your massage will tell your therapist you enjoyed the experience. Coming back again will do so even more. No one need be embarrassed about leaving a little something extra for a great service.

Do You Want a Male or Female Therapist?

Make your choice and be sure to tell us this. We only have male therapists. Why is this a moral question? Some people may not be happy having a man or a women touch them when they are nearly naked. Indeed some husbands or wives might not be happy having another man or woman touch their spouse all over their body. It is up to you and potentially your partner to make this choice and say so when booking your appointment. Here we only have male therapists.

How Much Clothing Do I Need to Take Off?

Here, we are happy for you to remove as much of your cloths as you are comfortable with. Other places may have different rules about this. People can remain fully clothed during a massage but, this will hinder your treatment, meaning you may not get the most out of it. If you wish, you can strip to your underwear. This is the way most people are treated. It gives access to all body parts required and gives you a good level of discretion. Your therapist will see only things that he needs to see.

Alternatively, you can with the agreement from your therapist (masseur), strip naked if you feel most comfortable this way. This is up to you and your massage therapist to discuss privately, between you before your treatment. It is up to you how you want to proceed, after all this is your personalised treament. All you have to do is tell us. Body parts that are not being worked on can remain covered with towels if you wish for warmth and to be even more dicreet. No matter how much clothing you choose to remove, your discretion is always 100% assured here. 

Where Do My Hands Go During My Treatment?

If it is a full body massage, your hands should stay on the massage table when you are face up, dangling down either side of the table when you are face down, or where ever your therapist (masseur) puts them. This is a relaxation treatment and if you start touching your masseuse, they may become uncomfortable. So please trust your therapist and allow them to so their job unhindered. It will be better for both of us.

What Happens If I Get an Erection?

Public Domain picture of a man by DavinciBecoming relaxed does different things to different people. One of those relaxation responses from your body can mean your penis becomes erect. Don’t worry, this is a healthy, normal, regular response for men. This reaction to relaxation can also happen to men when they awake in the morning after a relaxing sleep. Getting an erection is a perfectly normal human response to a good, relaxing massage. Therapists here are not concerned if it happens or if it doesn’t and neither should you be. It’s OK.

A professional, experienced therapist (masseuse) will have seen this reaction before. It can happen. It is nothing to worry about. Your erection will be covered by a towel. For you this means, your erection reaction is more discreet this way. A true professional will simply ignore it and continue with your soothing treatment, being very mindful of not getting too close to your genitals. You should not be concerned if this happens, or if it doesn’t. Simply enjoy your massage.

Massage Relief for Accountants - Relaxing Stress in Financial Services

Happy accountant after a massage for stressWorking in the financial services industry can be stressful. Pardo S (2024) and many others say it is considered one of the top 5 most stressful jobs in the UK. Most people do not really understand where all the stress in finance comes from as there are so many stressors. The consequence of not dealing with your stress, not being able to fully cope with it all day in day out can lead to workplace issues, mental health problems and even a devastating burnout. Don’t worry though, we have a tried and tested solution for you. Massage therapy is a wonder to add to your coping strategy and can help you destress in a mindful and blissful bubble of relaxation. Call or text 07979814388 today for an appointment.

Stressed Out by Finance Work? Relax with Massage Instead

Stress in finacial services is high so you need to destress with a masaageStress in the finance sector comes in many forms. For a start the workload they are expected to get through daily is heavy. There are long hours involved including in some cases unpaid overtime even during weekends. There are often regular deadlines for monthly and quarterly figures which add to already high stress levels. However, don’t worry, as long as you make “me time” for yourself, you can get good stress relief with massage. In 1 or 2 hours of treatment you can allow your professional therapist to sooth away all that work stress. You can go from feeling tense, exhausted and not sleeping to relaxed, refreshed and sleeping like a baby the night after.          

Coping With the Many Stressors in Finance

We all get stressed by too many post its so try massage to relaxUnless you are working in this sector understanding the multitude of stressors here is difficult. So, I will summarise Hoel H et al (2001) study to get an idea. Mental and physical illnesses due to finance work are very high with over 80% of staff reporting issues. The issue of burnout or feeling overwhelmed by their workload is similarly high. A large number agree that staffing level are not adequate and may have even dropped over the last couple years. Because of all this over 75% of the workforce say they cut corners in work leading to further issues down the line.  4 hours on average is reported as the amount of unpaid overtime they do. If you were under all these stressors constantly you need coping strategies. That is where massage therapy can help. An hour of soothing bliss can really help.

Avoid Consequences by Using Massage to Cope With Stress in Financial Services

So now we have an idea of the stressors, what are the consequences of it if we don’t do something about it? Well, there are many outcomes of being overstressed and none of the are good. Stressed out workers can start to lose control of their professional delegation skills and end up bullying others causing even more office stress. When you are under stress random outbursts can happen, even violent ones. Low quality of work can begin to be produced, and this can be pointed out to you by your boss (even mor stress). Your moral can take a beating meaning your overall performance goes down. This lower performance can affect team performance and lead to poor employee relations. In the end, without dealing with stress you may end up taking leave from work because of suffering from burnout. None of this is good really. To cope with stress easily and reduce these devastating consequences try massage. The feelgood factor of a treatment can be taken away into the office improving your work, your attitude to work and even your attitude to work colleagues. Call 07979 814 388 for an appointment today.      

Accountants Love Swedish & Hot Stone Massage

Get the benefits from a submission massageSwedish massage is a wonderful soothing way of destressing for accountants. A 1 or 2 hour session can fundamentally change the way you feel. Soothing effleurage (light pressure) begins treatment spreading oil over your limbs. Next relaxing petrissage (medium pressure) takes place pulling and pushing muscles to clear them of deoxygenated blood and replace them with fresh. Then back to effleurage to reduce your stress and add delightful calmness from head to toe.

Picture of man being massaged with hot stones.The pleasing, comfortable warmth of warm stones (hot stone massage) can also be used to add to your relaxation. This heat stimulates your skin bringing body fluids to the surface. Long strokes with the oily hot stones are used as well as circular movements to really warm up your underlying muscles. This means muscle tension relief which can be where you are holding onto your stress. So, you are covered in warm oil, gentle and medium pressures are used and the soothing warmth of hot stones all over. If you were feeling stressed by your job in finance by the end of this you should now be feeling a simple, blissful calm.

Farm Stress Solutions - Relieving Farmer Stress with Massage

Photo of a happy farmer after his massage stress reliefThere is more to farming than it just being a hard and very required profession. It is also a very demanding way of life. Farming requires deep, firm commitment to the lifestyle and a great deal of both physical and mental resilience. You need to be tough just to survive. There are several unique stressors and pressures that are always there and come from all aspects of their lives. Farmers often must grapple with unpredictable weather that they must work in for long hour. When crops finally come in, or livestock are market ready they then have to deal with a volatile marketplace to sell them. This is just touching on the surface of the stress farmers suffer but. we can offer a solution. Massage can help you to deal with all this stress. Come in stressed out and simply float home on a mindful cloud afterwards. Allow us to sooth your muscles and pamper you like you deserve. Call Kevin to book your treatment today 07979 814388

Swedish Massage is Suitable for Hard Working Farmers

Enjoying sensual non-sexual massage by a manSwedish massage is good for your circulation and very soothing to farmers exhausted nerves. Light and medium pressures are a true delight to experience and can leave you feeling uplifted and refreshed from head to toes and everywhere in between. We start with light effleurage to cover your skin in warm oil and get your circulation going. Next, we then move onto medium depth stokes to push and pull away used body fluid, which gets replaced by oxygenated blood. This can lead to you feeling an uplift as your muscles are now ready for action again. Soothed and uplifted. You couldn’t ask for more as a hardworking farmer really.

Farmers Destress With Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage stroke using elbowDeep tissue massage for farmers on the other hand gets down into your muscles more deeply pushing away tension. Therapists use elbows and forearms, and you will really feel the difference. However, if it becomes painful just say and we can lighten up a bit for you. This is very good way for hard and overworked muscles to recover more quickly. More of that exhausted used blood gets pushed away through your veins with deep, slow strokes. Then this is followed up by fast percussion strokes to get fresh blood into your muscles and can make you feel great. Call 07979  814388 today for some farmers tension relief.       

Farmers Lifestyle Pressures

Photo of stressed out farmer in need of a massage looking out over fieldsA farming lifestyle is a touch one. It may well be romanticised in novels but, the truth of the matter it is hard work. To start with there are the very long hours that are involved which are taxing mentally and physically. Also let’s not forget farmers work long hours alone in many cases which can lead to social isolation and feeling lonely all day. There is a huge amount of mental resilience required to dedicate yourself to this lifestyle year in and year out. Indeed downing tools and going home does not necessarily mean the end of a working day, sometimes there is still more to do as the sun is setting. All of these lifestyle pressures can lead to a lot of stress. Your mind and body can only take so much pressure before you really need a release from it. This is where massage comes in. Releasing the mental pressures for a short time can leave you head feeling quite refreshed and releasing muscle tension can leave you feeling invigorated. All of this happens in a private confidential space where you can talk to your understanding therapist or just enjoy the bliss of treatment.

Stress from Unpredictable and Ever-Changing Weather Patterns

rainstorm over feildsImagine if your own workplace was hotter, wetter and more unpredictable every year, would that stress you out? Yes, well farmers tend to work outside so climate change will affect them more than others.  We have always had weather in the UK so much so it is one of the most discussed topics by the generally public. There is some debate about climate change however the numbers do not lie. According to the met office over the least 20 years summer weather has been up to 6°C warmer. They have also been dryer up to 60% less precipitation in some regions. Even on the hottest days recently it is hotter up to 7°C warmer than in the past. Winters have been up to 4.5°C warmer, 30% more precipitation and intensity of it has increased. Luckily getting a massage can offer some respite from all this. You can come with your muscles all tight from the stress and leave feeling like a new man. Want to book in to be pampered and treated like a King? Call or text 07978 814 399 today.

Volatile Prices & Markets Produce Additional Farm Stress

markets can be stressful when selling goodsMarkets are required to sell the goods you produce. For livestock there are plenty of markets and auctions in Yorkshire (Malton, Selby, Otley, Thirsk and others). For grain many local merchants are available like Frontier or you might sell to other farmers. Crop output is of course down to our everchanging weather which cannot be relied on. All of this means you need a strategy which may change every year depending on supply and demand. Inflation cause stress with running costs getting higher every year. The above pressures cause stress to farmers. Don’t worry though, your stress is something we are here to help you deal with. Ancient and more modern massage techniques are used to sooth your stress away. We all need a break sometimes and with farming it is just not that easy to get away. So, why not get a little bit of relaxation for an hour or two instead. Just allow us to work our magic and get you feeling refreshed and ready for the next day’s challenges.
