Preliminary Information
Preliminary Information
Your massage therapist will ask a few simple, preliminary questions to determine your overall health and your health and wellness goals for the session.
This information will help the massage therapist structure the massage session to achieve your health and wellness goals.
Privacy
Privacy
Before your massage, you’ll be asked to remove clothing to your level of comfort.
The massage therapist will leave the room while you undress. Take off only as much as you are comfortable removing.
Lie on the massage table, underneath the provided sheet or towel, which will cover your body except for the part being massaged.
Environment
Environment
Music might be played. If you find music distracting, tell your massage therapist. The same goes for talking during your session.
Your massage therapist should check on pressure and comfort throughout your appointment. If you're uncomfortable at any time, tell your massage therapist.
The massage table is padded, and may have extra attachments or cushions, such as a face cradle, which allows you to lie facedown without turning your head or neck.
Massage Therapy Session
Massage Therapy Session
- Massage therapists often use oil or lotion. If you're allergic to oils or lotions, tell your massage therapist beforehand.
If you're receiving hot stone massage, make sure you're comfortable with the temperature of the stones, and always tell your massage therapist if you are uncomfortable.
Depending on your needs, the massage therapist will massage either the full body (except private areas) or only specific areas that need attention, such as especially tight muscles.
Remember to breathe normally.
Table massage lasts between 30 and 120 minutes. The time will start once you are on the table.
After your massage, the massage therapist will allow you to slowly get up and get dressed in privacy.
Tips are always appreciated but not required.
Follow Up
Follow Up
The benefits of massage therapy are cumulative, so work with your massage therapist to customize a plan to meet your health, wellness or relaxation goals through future sessions.
Communication
Communication
Your therapist's goal is your comfort, satisfaction and renewal during the session. Be sure to clearly communicate your needs or any kind of discomfort you are feeling. Don't be afraid to speak up and ask the therapist to adjust the pressure, focus on a certain area or to change the environment for you.
