minutes in the outskirts of
Q. How long will my massage
last? A. Good question.
Massage Therapy sessions vary from about 45 minutes to 2 hours. A 45
minute session is great for one area of the body such as back and neck.

Q. Do you offer

Q. Do you offer Pregnancy
or Prenatal massage? A. Yes, I offer it. Just
check with your doctor to ensure you can receive all the benefits massage
therapy has to offer during your pregnancy. Q. How often should I
have massage therapy? A. Another good
question. How often you have massage therapy depends on your
goals. Once every two or three weeks is a very popular option.
Q. Does the Massage
Therapist expect me to "chat" during the massage? A. No. The decision
to "chat" is entirely yours. Being quiet can enhance your relaxation
during the massage and the therapist understands and welcomes that
enhancement. If you wish to chat during the massage, the therapist will
probably accommodate you. During therapeutic massage procedures the
therapist may ask you pertinent questions.
Q. Do I need to be
undressed? How should I dress? A. No. It's not
absolutely necessary, but for the best results during a full-body massage
it's recommended. You really don't need to worry, most professional
therapists "drape" you with a sheet or towel(s), your modesty can
and should be preserved. We use full draping with a sheet and expose
only the body part actually being massaged. Females will be massage only by
females and males by a male.
Q. Even with draping
I still would like to leave on my underclothes, is that OK? A. Absolutely.
Undress only to your level of comfort. Actually, there are massage
techniques that work very well while you're fully clothed.
Q. Will the massage
be painful? A. No. Relaxation
massage shouldn't be painful. You should feel free to let the therapist
know if the pressure being used is causing you pain. You can get great
results without pain.
Q. Can massage help me with
pain from my medical condition? A. Yes. Massage can
help to lessen or eliminate pain stemming from a wide range of medical
conditions that include fibromyalgia, lupus, myofascial pain syndrome, sciatica, carpal tunnel
syndrome, tmj pain, migraines, and others. There
are some conditions for which massage is contraindicated if you are in doubt
ask a doctor.
Q. I bruise easily, can I still get a massage? A. Yes. You should
inform your massage therapist that you bruise easily and why i.e.
medications, medical condition, etc. Your massage therapist can adjust
his/her pressure and technique to prevent or minimize bruising.
Q. Another therapist
I went to said that my knots had to be relieved by "digging them
out" which was quite painful, is that right? A. To our knowledge it's
not right. Knots in muscles, even deeper muscles, can usually be
relieved with light or moderate pressure that causes little discomfort. |
