Congratulations to the Massage Therapy Program graduates of The Community College of Baltimore County in 2009. An Associate’s Degree of Applied Science in Massage Therapy will be awarded to graduates. On December 17th, they were presented with Massage Therapy pins and a gift from their faculty, as well as their Massage Therapy Program completion certificates, at a celebration. Following the formal programme, family and friends were treated to a feast of delicious food and beverages as part of the event.
In the coming weeks, graduates can continue their studies as they prepare for the National Certification Exam, which is required to apply to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in Maryland. On January 9th and 10th, the CCBC Massage Therapy Department will host a free NCE Review Course for graduates, and the CCBC Massage Therapy Foundation will cover the $225 NCE Exam fee.

What kind of massage is the most relaxing
Massage therapy is the rubbing and kneading of the body’s muscles and joints to alleviate discomfort and pain. Certain therapies are more successful than others depending on the underlying cause of tension or pain. The Swedish massage is the most common for general relaxation. Hot stone massage and aromatherapy massage are two other modalities that use different massage products and are becoming increasingly common. Massage products for self-care include motorised massage cushions for car seats and chairs, foot rollers, massage balls, and a variety of creams and ointments.
What is the best form of massage for muscle knots
Muscle knots can occur anywhere on the body, but the neck, shoulders, and back are the most common locations. Massage modalities such as Sports Therapy Massage and Deep Tissue Massage are often used to target and relieve pain in various parts of the body. Self-massage can be just as effective in some cases, whether it’s softly rubbing the muscle with your fingertips or using one of the many at-home massage accessories available, such as foam rollers, pain relievers, and deep tissue self-massagers.
Is it okay if I give myself a massage
Without a doubt. For mild tension and pain relief, many self-massage techniques are extremely successful. To alleviate head and face tension, rub your temples, cheeks, and jawline with your fingertips in a circular motion; gently apply pressure and push up on your scalp with your palms of your hands to relieve neck and cranial discomfort; or roll a foam roller or massage ball on your thighs or under your feet. Self-care therapies and low-cost massage items may be a good substitute for conventional massage or as a stopgap measure.
