Stressed? Get a Massage!

I love having massages and I cannot count how many times I have been to a massage parlors just because I want to and for no apparent reason. Massages really relieve me from stress, I even get massages on Mondays.

There are a lot of massage joints all over the city even if you look it up on the internet, like 'massage montreal', you will get millions of results in a single click, but do you really know which massage parlor to go?

My first requirement when I go for a massage is that I want my therapist to be experienced, trained, and licensed, if applicable. It is dangerous to leave your body with inexperienced hands so you have to check if the therapist doing your massage has undergone rigorous training and knows what he or she has to do. The therapist's skill is actually my foremost consideration on whether or not I will go back to a certain massage parlor.

Reputation of the massage parlor is a big thing for me. I want to be in a clean and wholesome environment, not in a house of ill repute. I want to be in a family and child-friendly massage parlor.

There are massage joints which allow you to choose the massage oil, and I like this kind of concept specially because I try as much as possible to only use organic essential oils for massages. I try to avoid using mineral oil because it damages the skin, and is the no. 2 cause of skin ageing, next to the sun.

Out of all the massage parlors that I go to, my favorite is the one that does not only offer massage but also has other spa services like body scrubs, manicure, pedicure, waxing, and other holistic beautifying activities. It's like going to a one-stop-shop, you  just go in and everything that you need will be taken cared of and then you go out feeling de-stressed, fresh, and rejuvenated.
