WHAT TO EXPECT
Everything possible will be done to insure that your massage therapy is positive and rewarding. Prior to treatment a brief questionnaire and medical intake is completed to determine the type of massage therapy best suited for your needs. If massage therapy is prescribed for a specific condition by a medical doctor, the cost of the treatment may be covered by your health insurance. All information provided is strictly confidential.

A single treatment may consist of one type or massage therapy or a combination of several types. The massage therapies practiced are Swedish Massage (the most common, consisting of long strokes, kneading, vibration, friction and percussion techniques); Medical Massage (consisting of a concentrated, localized treatment for a specific condition); and Deep Tissue Therapy. Treatments are either half hour or full hour sessions. |
You will be asked to undress in private and drape yourself with the towel provided. Although it is more effective to manipulate the body's tissues if the client is unclothed, you may remain partially clothed if desired. During the massage you will be lying on a comfortable heated massage table and you will be draped with a sheet and towel. Only that part of your body being massaged will be undraped to insure that your modesty is respected at all times. Quiet, relaxing music is played during the treatment. Please feel free to report distractions of any kind, whether form physical discomfort, room temperature, volume of music, or any other source. After the massage, you are allowed a brief period to relax and dress in private. Exercises to maintain and improve your physical condition may be demonstrated and recommended as required.
