Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect when receiving my first massage?
On your first visit, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. A confidential client history form will need to be filled out. This form is very important to you and the therapist. It includes questions such as the reason you are seeking massage therapy, any injuries or medical conditions you may have, and any other information that may help them better serve you. Please be as honest as possible on this form as there could be specific conditions that would not be appropriate for you to receive a massage.
Your session will take place in a quiet, comfortable room. It will be dimly lit and soothing music will be played. The massage therapist will then excuse himself/herself so you can disrobe to your level of comfort. You will then get on the table under the provided cover and relax, either face up or face down.
You will be draped at all times – only the area being worked on will be exposed. A typical full body session includes your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, face, neck and shoulders. Oil or lotion is often used.
When the massage is complete, the practitioner will leave the room so you can get dressed. Get up slowly! Make sure you drink plenty of water after your massage.
