Not necessarily.

You’re welcome to book the type of massage experience you'd like, even if that’s not a sports massage this time around.

When you book a massage, you can choose the duration that works best for you.

No. You can undress to your own comfort level. Some folks like to bring a change of comfortable clothes for after the massage especially if they are coming directly from work.

If you are doing more of a stretch session or Thai style you may want to wear loose clothing like shorts and shirt.

The massage therapist will leave the room while you undress, relax on the heated table, and cover up under the clean sheet and blanket.

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable.

Only the area being worked on will be properly exposed.

Your massage or bodywork session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room.

Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table specially designed for your comfort.

A relaxing Swedish massage is often a baseline for clients.

In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension.

As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension.

Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. The oil also helps hydrate your skin.

You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.

Before the massage, feel free to ask the massage therapist any questions about the technique or the upcoming session.

During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The therapist will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm).

Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session.

If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

When you click “Book Now” you will be able to see all the availability, and rates of all of our services.

We do have discounted prices for groupings of services and our membership options. These can be found in the “Deals” section.

You are also able to use your HSA for any service purchase or membership plan.

Hydration is key to many things but most importantly when receiving bodywork.

Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day prior to your session or at least 8-16oz prior to massage.

This helps the circulation system clean out the junk like lactic acid out of the muscles.

Then after your session we will give you a little water you can take with you but definitely hit the water after the next day to help reduce any of that junk from settling back into the muscles causing soreness/stiffness.

We recommend 16-20oz after and the morning after as well.

A typical full-body session will include work on your face, scalp, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, glutes(over the sheet), and sometimes abdomen if warranted due to lymphatic or other factors that would include that area.

Of course we can omit anything that you would like and we will go over this at your appointment where you can let us know what to omit.

Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure.

Massage and bodywork are also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety, and create an overall sense of well-being.

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with you unclothed leaving your underwear on; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort.

You will be properly draped during the entire session.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity.

After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days.

Yes.

That’s why it’s imperative that, before you show up to your session, you fill out your intake form that is sent to the email you made the appointment with.

The massage therapist will ask general health questions to clarify prior to your appointment.

You must inform the practitioner of any health problems or medications you are taking.

If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork before any session.

Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

That’s a great question. But the answer is really up to you.

Consistency is great as it allows you to regularly set time aside to take care of yourself.

But the right answer for you will depend on your needs, budget, and goals.
