TOP QUESTIONS
We’re Here for You
When choosing a therapist, you want to be sure you’re choosing one that you can fully trust to answer all of your questions and concerns. I provide easy-to-understand guides on some of the most common questions and concerns I receive. Below, you’ll will find a list of some frequently asked questions from my clients. Connect with me today for more information.
WHAT WILL MY FIRST SESSION BE LIKE?
The Massage Therapist will try to make you as comfortable as possible. She will show you to a private room where she will tell you to get comfortable and lay face down under the sheet.
DO I NEED TO REMOVE ALL MY CLOTHING?
That’s entirely up to you and your comfort level. However, keep in mind that if you’re having your back worked on by the massage therapist, then it might be somewhat difficult for them if you have a shirt on. Please discuss any concerns with your massage therapist and if you need to, use an extra towel to cover certain parts of your body.
SHOULD I EAT BEFORE THE MASSAGE?
Avoid having a massage on a full stomach. It is best to have a light meal about one to two hours before the session. However, you know your body best, so don’t go hungry to avoid the possibility of feeling lightheaded.
I’M NOT FEELING WELL, BUT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT COMING UP TODAY, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
We all get sick sometimes. Please remember if you’re not feeling well, then the best policy is to reschedule the massage appointment and stay home.
WILL THE MASSAGE HURT?
This depends on the type of massage and the depth of the strokes. A light, relaxing massage that doesn't probe very deep into the muscles, shouldn't hurt. With that being said, there is a 'feels good' hurt and an 'ouch, stop it' hurt. A good massage, even a really deep tissue massage, should always stay in the 'feels good' hurt range. Pain can be an indication that the muscle is possibly injured or inflamed and pressure should be adjusted. Also, pain can cause you to tighten up and negate the relaxing effects of the massage. The most effective and deepest massage always works with your body's natural response, not against it.
