Bethel Massage Center Gets A New Look Patch.com
Anyone who has recently walked into Take Time Relaxation Center will have noticed a big change. Instead of all the skin care and spa-related products lining the shelves, there is now open, empty space.
Owner Darryl Soifersmith has completely redesigned the 17-year-old business - located at 130 Greenwood Av. - by removing most of the products, with the goal of creating a more breathable and relaxing look.
“Whenever you walked in, you were bombarded with too much stuff. All of this produced the opposite effect of what I want customers to feel when they enter the store, which is peace and serenity,” said Soifersmith, 39, a New Milford resident who has owned the business since 2009.
“It’s all about being able to breathe and relax," he continued. "By getting rid of all the excess, I have streamlined the store. This has allowed us to focus on what we're known for and what we do best—massage therapy."
The 1,000-square-foot business offers over nine types of massages including aromatherapy, sports massage, reflexology and cranio-sacral.

How good does a swedish massage feel?
I have only gotten the aromatherapy massages but my husband got me a swedish massage. Is it a rough massage or does it hurt? Should I trade it in for the aromatherapy or should I not pass this up?
i don't know what aromatherapy massages feel like but the swedish feel soooo good! omg. they are so relaxing you should try it. they ask you how much pressure you want so it shouldn't hurt. on me, i had a knot on my back and i told her to try to relax it out so it did kinda hurt but it felt good at the same time. if you dont want much pressure then you let them know beforehand and there should be no problem. get it and you will be thankfull. sooo relaxing.
How many calories do you burn giving an hour swedish massage?
Im a massage therapy student, and I was wondering on average how many calories I burn giving a "typical" hour swedish massage?
Hi,it's hard work giving a deep massage isn't it? And of course it's going to burn calories, you are walking and using your arms in almost the reverse way of weight lifting, even kissing burns calories!
I found this on a forum for you: http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp?m=372881
It is an answer to someone asking the same question. It's answered by someone who wore a heart rate monitor during work (last but one answer). He is a big guy, so you would use less, but in a day it looks like it's pretty good going!
I also found this calory burning calculator: http://www.self.com/health/activity/calculators/elliptical_trainer
I don't know how accurate it is though. But, you select the activity (it includes an option for giving a massage), the page refreshes and you then input your height and number of minutes you worked, then hit calculate, and it will tell you :)
Hope that helps!

How good does the Swedish massage feel?
How good does a swedish massage feel? Where do you like to be massaged?
Is there a certain age you have to be to get one?
Tell me! How does it feel to you?
if you can manage to relax your first time around ( getting naked for a stranger is a little odd) it is FABULOUS. You should be 18 if you are going to opt for a massage at a spa since you could actually be injured or have a muscle bruised as rare as that might be. Get the full body, if you don't, you will be wishing you had.
You can be any age to get a massage as long as you have your parents consent.
Massage is a personal thing and will feel different to each person. Each massage will feel different - even ones done by the same person. Everyone is unique in their feelings.
Exactly how exposed will i be during a swedish massage?
I just found out that my mother is giving me a gift certificate for a swedish massage for christmas. However, i have a history of cutting (i'm completely better now and have been for almost a year). I have some fairly deep, obvious scars on my thighs. How exposed do i have to be for this? What are the chances that they will be discovered? Or that my mother will find out?
Your breasts and privates always stay covered. By law in most states. Wear panties if you want, but skip the bra because they cannot do a good job on your back with all the straps in the way. You can ask for a female therapist.
If you are underage, in my state many places require a parent in the room to avoid legal problems. Make sure you find out about the rules about this where you are going.
your back, legs, arms are uncovered one at a time and re-covered.
You might just want to mention that you have some scars and that they are healed and you have no medical problems. The therapist is likely going to ask because some medical problems cannot receive massage. They will need to ask you to make sure you are healthy.
What should I wear to the spa tomorrow for my Swedish/Shiatsu massage?
I'm going to Burke Williams for Swedish/Shiatsu massage combo.
I love both, but it's making my apparrel choice difficult.
I've had shiatsu, but I was always fully clothed. It be weird to do all those stretches nakey! But it doesn't seem possible to be clothed for Swedish massage, since they lotion you up!
Anyone had this treatment before?
Before your appointment call them and ask what they recommend. They are the professionals. They should be more than able to tell you what they think is the most reasonable/comfortable.
no1 cares what ur wearing..its just a spa!
but maybe bring in new clothes for after ur treatment so when u walk out u look totally exfoliated and like ur body is new.
What is better for a bad back, swedish massage or thai massage?
I have lower back pain, probably due to trying to sleep on a Detroit to San Francisco flight. I have heard that a good massage would help ease the pain. I have seen advertisements for both Swedish and Thai massage and I don't know which one is better.
swedish massage might be better for lower back pain. It will relax the muscles in the area, allow improved circulation, and release tension.
Ultimately, you might want to do some form of yoga also, to complement the work of the massage, and improve the flexibility and strength of the muscles in the area.
Some really good stretches help also.
is a swedish massage good for a sore neck?
I have chronic neck pain and it always cracks, would a swedish massage help?
There are many issues with chronic neck pain. A massage will help, but its effects will be temporary. It would best be combined with structural work like chiropractic, exercises and posture modifications.
are there any known long term benefits of swedish massage?
if i get a swedish massage every week, will my body alignment be better? are there any proven known benefits, particularly for newly aging individuals? im 30. thanks.
Yes, there can be great improvements in your health with massage. If you are having problems with alighnments maybe you should look into deep tissue, neuro muscular therapy or shoulder / hip girdle release for your spine and hips. These help with posture and corrects your breathing.
Swedish is used mainly for detoxing and purifing the skin by cleansing the dermal layer underneath the skin - the fatty tissue.
What's that hot pack they use in swedish massage?
I had a swedish massage once and the girl put this heavy and hot pack on my back, she would then work by parts giving me the massage, it was great, but what was it? a gel pack? it was quite large, it covered my back and bottom almost,
thanks!
It was probably a heat pack from a hydrocollator which is a specialized unit for heating packs that physical therapists, doctors, massage therapists and chiropractors use.
