Male or Female Massage Therapist - Which is Right for Me?

At The Center Sanctum, we offer both male and female massage therapists at both our Newark and Zanesville locations. But you may be wondering what the benefits to each are, and why some may choose one over the other. Many may prefer a male massage therapist as they generally have a larger frame, stronger leverage, and longer endurance when massaging. This can be especially beneficial to those who are seeking medical massages or deep tissue massages who want the extra strength and firm pressure to aid in muscle aches, or are looking for a stronger massage in general. Male massage therapists also tend to be quieter, which can be good for those who want a relaxing space and not too much talking during their massage. Some may prefer a female massage therapist as they can have a nurturing personality, which some may look for in a massage to add comfort. Some may be more comfortable having a female massage therapist for prenatal massage. When it comes to choosing a massage therapist, there isn’t a “right” answer; the best massage therapist is the one who makes you feel comfortable and understands your needs. Whichever massage therapist you feel a connection with, our therapists at The Center Sanctum do their best to give you a comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable massage experience.
