Back to Top What are some emotional benefits of massage?
Back to Top What will happen when I go for my first massage appointment? First, you will be given a health history questionnaire. This is to inform your massage therapist about any potential health risks. Your massage therapist will discuss the health history questionnaire and ask about any concerns you may have. Back to Top What happens during a massage session? After discussing your health history, your therapist will then ask you to get undressed and get under the sheet on the massage table. Your therapist will leave the room while you undress. When the therapist re-enters the room, the massage will begin. Each massage is tailored to your needs. During the massage, at all times, you will remain under the sheet with only the part of the body being worked on uncovered; your breasts and genitals will always be covered. After the massage is finished, your therapist will leave the room to allow you to get dressed. After you are dressed, you and your therapist may choose to discuss the massage and make another appointment. Back to Top Do I have to take all my clothes off during a session? Massage is most fully experienced without clothing, however, if you feel any discomfort with this, you may leave on your underwear. Back to Top
