What should I expect during my first massage visit?

Your massage therapist should require you to fill out a health history form. They may also ask more in-depth questions to establish which areas you would like focused on, or if there are any specific conditions needing to be addressed. It is important to list all health concerns and medication so that your therapist can adapt your session to your specific needs without causing any harm. It is also important to specify any allergies so that your therapist may adjust the oil or cream being used during your visit.

Do I have to be completely undressed? What do you wear for a massage?

You may undress to your level of comfort. Many people prefer to keep their underwear on during a massage, while others choose to be nude. Your massage therapist will leave the room so you can undress and lie on the massage table under a top sheet. Regardless if you choose to maintain some clothing or not, your massage therapist will always ensure that you are always properly covered.

What if I am late arriving to my appointment?

Please arrive on time for your appointment.  The time for your appointment has been specially arranged for you. If you arrive late your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours. We will do our best to provide you with the services you have booked, but we cannot guarantee the full time if you arrive late.  Full payment for your scheduled services will be expected.

How will I feel after the massage?

You should feel some relief after a massage. Sometimes you may experience 24-48 hours of soreness. But it should be a good kind of sore, like you just had a workout. After a massage, you should feel relaxed and mellow. T But don’t expect that a one-time massage will solve a lifelong backache or other chronic pain. A lot of people expect to be cured in an hour an important question to ask yourself: “How long did it take to get this backache and how long have I had it?” For many things, such as a backache, it’s a cumulative effect and you may need several consecutive treatments. It can take time.

Is the massage going to hurt?

It shouldn’t hurt but you should keep the lines of communication open. If a therapist is pressing too deeply in an area you should tell them. You should never have to endure a massage. Sometimes correcting chronic injuries can be a little uncomfortable but it shouldn’t be painful. Massage should always leave you felling better than when you came in.
