FAQs
-
This depends on your goals! Relaxation? Choose Swedish. Muscle knots/chronic pain? Choose Deep Tissue or Therapeutic/Medical Massage. Athletic recovery? Choose Sports Massage. It's best to discuss your specific issues (like back pain or stress) during the initial consultation, and the therapist can recommend the best approach or blend of techniques.
-
You should undress only to your comfort level. Most people remove all clothing or leave on their underwear. You will be draped with a sheet at all times, and only the area actively being worked on will be uncovered. Your privacy and comfort are respected throughout the session.
-
A therapeutic massage may involve intense pressure or a sensation of "good pain" as the therapist works on tight muscle knots, but it should never be sharp or unbearable pain. You are encouraged to communicate with your therapist about the pressure level at any time.
-
Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes. A 60-minute session is great for targeting one or two specific areas (like the back and neck) or a general full-body relaxation massage. A 90-minute session allows time for both a full-body approach and detailed work on chronic problem areas.
-
Always mention all current or past health conditions, injuries, and medications when booking and on your intake form. This is crucial for your safety, as certain techniques may need to be avoided or modified (e.g., pregnancy, recent surgery, blood clots).
-
It is entirely up to you! Some people prefer quiet relaxation; others enjoy chatting. The only required communication is to let your therapist know if the pressure is too much, too little, or if you are uncomfortable for any reason. Otherwise, enjoy the silence or feel free to talk.
-
Not much! It is recommended to arrive 5-10 minutes early to fill out any necessary paperwork. You should avoid eating a large meal right before your appointment. You do not need to shower immediately before, but please come in a clean state.
-
This varies based on your needs and budget. For general maintenance and stress relief, once a month is a common frequency. For chronic pain, injury rehabilitation, or intense athletic training, your therapist may recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions initially.
-
Tipping is customary in the service industry for excellent work and is always appreciated, similar to dining out. The standard gratuity range is often 15% to 20% of the session price.
-
You may feel deeply relaxed, slightly lightheaded, or a little sore (especially after deep tissue work). It is highly recommended to drink plenty of water afterward to rehydrate your tissues and allow your body to process the session's benefits. Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.
