Do I have to take my clothes off?
Whatever you are comfortable with. Some people choose to undress completely while others keep undergarments on. Throughout the massage you will be covered by a sheet and we will only undrape the body part worked on.
What if I am uncomfortable with my body?
You wouldn't believe how many times we’ve heard someone say they'd get a massage if they were more comfortable about their body. Don't let this stop you. You're denying yourself quite a relaxing experience. Massage therapists have seen bodies in every imaginable shape, size, age, and physique. We're professionals who have found massage to be a wonderful gift to give to men and women alike, regardless their body type. We are proud of what we can offer to people in need of relief from muscular discomfort or just wanting to alleviate life’s stresses.
Am I expected to talk during the massage?
The key to a massage is relaxation and allowing yourself to enjoy the experience. We try not to encourage too much conversation so you can be in tune with your body, let your mind float free and fully enjoy the session. It's not uncommon for many people to feel more relaxed by talking. Talking makes the therapist become more human and personal to them, and having this interaction makes it easier for them to place their trust in the therapist, and therefore make it easier for them to relax. Many clients talk in the initial stages of a massage, and as the massage progresses they become quiet, they slip farther into a state of total relaxation. You can do what ever you feel is right for you during that session, it is YOUR time. However, we may require verbal information in regards to the pressure, or pertinent to health findings during the treatment.
After my appointment, is there anything specific I should do?
It is recommended to drink plenty of water to keep your tissues hydrated after a massage. Also, an epsom salt bath is recommended to soothe and detoxify muscles, as well as enhance the benefits of the massage.
After a treatment massage, you may be required to use ice or heat as directed by your therapist. This will aid in the natural healing process of the body.
Will it hurt?
It depends on the type of therapy and what kinds of problems you have. A general relaxation Swedish massage should not hurt it but may provide evidence of more aggressive treatment required and any therapy such as Deep Tissue that directly addresses myofascial problems may be painful when treating problem areas. However, most clients describe such feelings as "hurting in a good way". A good massage therapist pays careful attention to both verbal and nonverbal cues from their client to determine how deep to go. It is important that you let us know if you are feeling any discomfort throughout the massage.
