| HOW
SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY SESSION? If you are
able, a warm bath or shower prior to your session is a great
way to prepare for your massage. Use of the restroom is
recommended before your session since massage tends to flush
excess fluids from your system.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A TYPICAL
SESSION?
If you are a new client, you will first be asked to complete
a medical history form so that we can better address your
needs.
Different types of massage require different levels of
undress. For example, techniques utilizing more stretching
and passive joint movements are usually done fully clothed,
while modalities utilizing lubricants such as Swedish and
circulatory massage, are generally done with as little clothing
as possible. In any case, you will always be covered appropriately,
with only the area worked on being exposed. Massage can
always be admistered fully clothed if that is what is most
comfortable for you.
Once the session is underway, you will be encouraged to
communicate your preference as to more or less pressure,
more or less heat, etc to ensure your optimum level of comfort.
It is recommended however, that conversation be kept to
a minimum so that you can relax and gain more benefits from
the session. This is your chance to totally relax, and we
want you to take full advantage of it!

WHO
WILL BE MY THERAPIST?
If this is you first visit with us, we will try to determine
what sort of massage is right for you. Preferences as to
scheduling your session with either a male or female therapist
are always respected.
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER MY SESSION?
Depending upon the type of work you received and your condition at the time
of your visit, you may feel some after effects in the days
following your session. In most cases, people report significant
and immediate relief from muscle tension and discomfort.
We often hear of improved sleep patterns, greater sense
of ease and relaxation lasting several days after the session.
At times, you may feel some soreness as a result of work
focusing on deeper tissues. This usually subsides within
24-48 hrs.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO MAXIMIZE
THE BENEFITS AFTER MY SESSION?
It's always a good idea to drink plenty of water following
your session to assist in the internal flushing and cleansing
process.
