Massage Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can I expect for my first appointment?
A: When you arrive for your appointment, you will be asked to fill out an in-take form with general health questions. Massage may not appropriate for people with certain medical conditions. We will discuss which therapies would best achieve the results you want from your session. It is always important that you ask any or all questions you may have before, during and after the session.

Q: Do I need to get completely undressed?
A: No. For a full body massage, some people undress completely, and others leave their underwear on.  It is important to undress to your personal comfort level. Your comfort and safety are my biggest concerns.  I will leave you in private to undress. You will be covered (draped) with a sheet at all times during the massage. Only the area being massaged will be uncovered. Once the massage is over, I will leave the room again so you may get dressed.

Q: Should I wear jewelry during a massage?
A: I do not recommend you wear any jewelry or bring anything of value with you for your session. 

Q: What should I do during a massage? 
A: Please make yourself completely comfortable. Most people just close their eyes and relax during a session. This is your massage, do whatever feels natural for you to relax. 

Q: Is massage painful?
A: Massage shouldn't be painful or hurt. Some therapeutic massage techniques, such as deep-tissue work to an area, can cause slight "discomfort". The level of discomfort should never turn into pain and the therapist should be informed immediately if that occurs.  At that point the therapist will adjust the pressure to continue the treatment. If any part of your massage doesn't feel right to you or if it is painful, please let me know right away.

Q: What if I fall asleep? 
A: It is not uncommon to fall asleep on the massage table during a session. This is your massage, do whatever feels right for you.

Q: What should I expect afterward? 
A: Massage and bodywork can affect all the body's systems. Most people feel completely relaxed, while others feel energized. Please take your time getting up and give yourself a few minutes to get re-oriented before standing and dressing. 

After your session you should increase your water intake. An extra glass or two more than normal are recommended. This will keep your body's tissues hydrated and will help flush waste through your system.
