FAQS
What a typical massage therapy session is like?
A typical massage therapy session is between 60-90 minutes long.
Your massage will begin with a brief consultation and review of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle.
You will be asked to undress (many people keep their underwear on) while the massage therapist is out of the room, and lie face down under a sheet on a padded massage table.
Our massage therapist will knock on the door to make sure you are ready. The massage therapist re-enters the room and will then adjust the face rest and pillows to ensure that you are comfortable and properly positioned. Please do not hesitate to tell massage therapist if you are too warm or cold.
Your massage therapist uses a light oil or lotion from Spa Ritual (Organic and Vegan Source) on the skin and begins the massage. A full body massage usually begins on the back and then moves down to the legs. You will then be asked to turn over so you are face up. The massage continues on your arms, legs, neck, and abdomen. You are underneath the sheet at all times. Only the part of the body being treated at any one time is uncovered. Please do not hesitate to tell the massage therapist if you would like less or more pressure with your massage.
After the massage, the massage therapist leaves the room so you can get changed. Take your time getting up. If you sit or stand too quickly you may feel light headed or dizzy.
Do I need a referral?
No, you can contact an massage therapist without a referral from a family physician or another health professional.
How often would I visit with the massage therapist?
Each individual needs are different. However, once you have met with our massage therapist, they can map out a visit schedule with you. Appointments are based on individual needs and your schedule. If you would like to have massage therapy as needed we are happy to provide continued services as needed.
How will I feel after a massage?
Most people will feel calm and relaxed, however, some people may experience mild and temporary aching for a day. Massage therapy shouldn't hurt. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort please tell your massage therapist and they will adjust the amount of pressure applied to your body.
