Q: What will the massage be like?
A: It depends on the techniques used. In general, your session may start with relaxing strokes to calm your nervous system and relax muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas that need attention. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage is most effective when your body is not resisting.
Q: How long will the session last?
A: The average full-body massage session lasts 1 hour. A half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage session, such as neck and shoulders, or legs and feet. Most people prefer an hour session for optimal relaxation. Always allow relaxation time prior to and after your session.
Q: What should I do during the massage session?
A: Make yourself comfortable. The therapist will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session. Many people just close their eyes and completely relax. Others like to talk during their session. Feel free to ask the therapist questions about therapeutic massage.
Q: How will I feel after my massage session?
A: Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, you may experience increased energy.
Q: Are there any medical conditions that would make massage inadvisable?
A: Before you begin your session, your therapist will have you fill out a health history form. It is very important that you inform the therapist of any health problems you may have. After talking with you and taking your health history, your therapist will decide which techniques you will benefit from.
