Ketamine-Assisted Massage: An Overview

Ketamine-assisted massage is an innovative wellness therapy that combines the relaxing and therapeutic benefits of massage with the dissociative and mood-enhancing effects of ketamine, a well-known anesthetic and psychedelic substance. This unique approach aims to enhance the physical and mental healing processes, providing a deeper level of relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being.

How It Works

Consultation: Clients undergo a thorough consultation with a medical professional to ensure they are suitable candidates for ketamine assisted massage therapy. This includes reviewing their medical history, mental health status, and any potential contraindications.

Environment: The setting for the massage is designed to be calming and luxurious, often featuring elements such as soft lighting, soothing music, and aromatherapy.

Dosage: Ketamine is administered in a controlled, low-dose manner, under the supervision of a licensed medical professional. The dosage is carefully calibrated to ensure safety and efficacy while avoiding excessive sedation.

Monitoring: Throughout the session, the client’s vital signs and overall condition are closely monitored to ensure their safety and comfort.

Technique: A professional massage therapist performs the massage using techniques tailored to the client’s needs, such as Swedish, deep tissue, or aromatherapy massage. The presence of ketamine can help enhance muscle relaxation and pain relief.

Experience: The ketamine induces a state of deep relaxation and mild dissociation, allowing clients to let go of stress and tension more effectively. This can result in a more profound and restorative massage experience.

Integration and Aftercare

After the session, clients are given time to relax and reflect on their experience in a quiet, comfortable space. This period helps them integrate the physical and mental benefits of the session. Clients may receive follow-up consultations to discuss their experience and any ongoing therapeutic needs.

Safety and Considerations

Not all individuals are suitable candidates for ketamine therapy. A thorough medical and psychological evaluation is necessary to determine eligibility. While low-dose ketamine is generally safe, potential side effects can include nausea, dizziness, and mild hallucinations. These are typically transient and manageable with professional oversight. At Siskiyou Vital Medicine and Epic Wellness, ketamine-assisted massage will ONLY be performed under the supervision of a licensed medical professional to ensure your safety and efficacy.

Conclusion

Ketamine-assisted massage represents a cutting-edge fusion of traditional massage therapy and modern psychedelic-assisted treatment, offering an unparalleled level of relaxation and therapeutic benefit. By carefully combining these elements, this innovative approach provides a unique and deeply restorative experience for clients seeking both physical and mental rejuvenation.
