    Massage has no real correlation with sagging skin after weight loss.

    To prevent sagging skin, start a strength training program asap.

    Your trainer sounds like a moron

    It makes me so mad. These *kitten* that try to take advantage of people who just want to be healthy. Run away from this person and tell everyone you meet to run away from him.

    @anyatanu - I love massage and get it regularly but don't like the way your trainer is upselling and hard selling you.

    Your ticker says you've lost 18 pounds and have 18 to go - are you noticing sagging skin now?

    As far as i know..till now there is no sagging in body.
    I have lost inches as my clothes say.
    But i dnt think there is any sagging.

    Thanks to this thread I got my *kitten* in gear to find a new masseur and have one booked tomorrow .. which I'm really looking forward to

    It's not for sagging skin though, it's just cos I love massage and I have some long-term areas that could do with working on due to my lifting

    I have nvr gone for masaage. But now instead in gym itself i will definitely look for some groupon deal to know how it feels :P

    A friend who id a trainer told me that their commission is 20-30% when they sell you anything, be it sessions or masage.
    Everyone else already pointed out that you don't need to worry about sagging skin with your weight and goals, and also that massage wouldn't have helped anyways.
    I suggest you take everything he says with a grain of salt and do your research.
    Also, isometric workouts have helped me with the mild sagging i had.
    Good luck.

    Hi
    I have reduced 3 kgs in past 45 days. My height is 5ft nd currently i weigh 57kgs. Age 31 years. Blessed with baby girl 1 and half year back.

    My gym trainer asked me to take body masaages under there weight reduction program to reduce skin sagging that will cause by weight loss..

    According to him without massages weight loss is of no use. You will not look good after sagging.
    And its a must component that's need to be added if i want to achieve my goal to reduce mre 8 kgs in 6months.

    he says how much effort i put in workouts and dietin..without massage everthing is waste.
    its costing 1000rs per massage and fr him i will need almost 30 massages.

    Shall i go fr it or not...jst want to have some advises bfre spending this much money..
    Your gym trainer is obviously either trying to take advantage of you or is unknowledgeable in how physiology works. No massage doesn't reduce skin sagging.

    Ya, a chain like Massage Envy are probably cheaper than massage at your gym. Also check Groupon - I've gotten some fantastic deals for massage there. The facility was also willing to give me the Groupon price after the deal ended.

    Groupon yes, Massage Envy NO NO NO. I say this as a member - their rates for non-members are total ripoffs to discourage members from un-joining.

    But Groupon for sure. And massage for sure, I couldn't live without it.
