Some massage therapists have variable and flexible work schedules that might see them working a lot of hours on one day and considerably fewer hours on the next day. This is most common with self-employed massage therapists as their work weeks can average in the range of 10 to 30 hours per week.

If you find your thoughts are racing during the massage, one way to be more body-centered and to quiet your mind is to follow the hands of the massage therapist and focus on how the touch feels. Drink extra water after your massage.
